PicCheck macht das Ausmisten deiner Fotogalerie so einfach wie nie zuvor. Foto für Foto – mit einer simplen Wischgeste entscheidest du, was bleibt und was weg kann. WIE ES FUNKTIONIERT Fotos werden einzeln angezeigt. Wische nach links, um ein Foto zu überspringen. Wische nach oben, um es zum Löschen zu markieren. Wische nach unten, um die letzte Markierung rückgängig zu machen. Wische nach rechts, um zum vorherigen Foto zurückzugehen. Am Ende löschst du alle markierten Fotos auf einmal – oder entscheidest doch anders. CLEVERE FUNKTIONEN Zufalls- oder Datumsmodus: Im Zufallsmodus entdeckst du vergessene Bilder neu. Im Datumsmodus arbeitest du dich chronologisch vom neuesten bis zum ältesten Foto vor. Screenshot-Modus: Zeige ausschließlich Screenshots an und entrümple deine Sammlung gezielt. „Bis hierhin bearbeitet": Du weißt noch, bis zu welchem Monat du zuletzt sortiert hast? Gib Jahr und Monat ein – alle neueren Fotos werden automatisch als bereits bearbeitet markiert. Mach einfach dort weiter, wo du aufgehört hast. Doppeltippen zum Favorisieren: Markiere besonders schöne Fotos direkt als Favorit. Thumbnail-Übersicht: Sieh alle zum Löschen markierten Fotos auf einen Blick, bevor du sie endgültig entfernst. Ziehe ein Bild nach unten, um die Markierung zu entfernen. Hell- und Dunkelmodus: Wähle dein bevorzugtes Design direkt in der App. DATENSCHUTZ ZUERST PicCheck verarbeitet deine Fotos ausschließlich lokal auf deinem Gerät. Es gibt keine Werbung, kein Tracking und keine Cloud-Übertragung. Deine Fotos bleiben deine Fotos.
