Swipe through your photos, swipe up to mark what you no longer need, then review and confirm your deletions together. Organize photos, videos, Live Photos, and GIFs in your iPhone or iPad library. Keep your favorites, clear out unwanted items, and sort the rest into albums in Photos. Features: • Search image content and text on your device, such as “cat” or “order”, then open the results to continue sorting • Use Unreviewed Photos to track progress from swiping, marking for deletion, and sorting into albums • Use the app on iPhone and iPad, with layouts that adapt to iPad orientation and window size • Scroll the thumbnail strip to change the current photo; browse in order, in reverse, or shuffled • Review pending deletions, keep individual items, or clear all deletion marks at once • Turn on classification mode and drag photos or videos down onto album covers to add them • Create empty albums, reorder album covers, rename albums, and delete regular albums • Filter the overview by album, Favorites, Videos, or Screenshots, and jump to the newest item • Tap the expand icon or double-tap for a full-screen view, then pinch to zoom and drag to explore • Crop still photos freely or use 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, or 9:16, with undo during the current session • Toggle Live Photo autoplay from the Live icon, or hold to play the current Live Photo • Videos start muted; changing the sound control sets your preference for subsequent videos • Sync Favorites with Photos and share through the system share sheet • Adjust browsing and classification in a compact settings panel, with language and dark-mode controls Pro features (one-time purchase, no subscription): • Unlimited deleting: the free version deletes up to 30 photos a day; Pro has no limit • Video compression: adjust quality and size, including batches • Photo compression: shrink photos, including batches • Live Photo to still: keep the key photo or pick your favorite frame The three features share 3 free tries; only successful saves count. Everything is processed on your device, and originals move to To Delete only after the new copy is saved. After you grant Photos access, the app gradually prepares search on your device. The first scan takes time; you can keep sorting elsewhere in the app while recognition continues. Progress is saved for your next visit. Recognition may miss some matches. Image recognition and the search index stay on your device and are not uploaded. No account is required, there are no ads, and the developer runs no online service for the app. Your media and usage records are not uploaded automatically. When you choose to share, iOS passes the selected content to the app or recipient you choose. If an original is stored only in iCloud, the system Photos service may download it. Swiping up only marks an item. Nothing is deleted until you confirm in the iOS system prompt. Confirmed items normally move to Recently Deleted and remain recoverable during the system retention period. Support: asa24@qq.com Xiaohongshu: Asa阿洒
