PicSwipe is a playful way to get rid of old pictures and videos, the ones you forgot about that just sit there taking up storage. Especially screenshots. You pick a deck and start swiping: left means gone, right means it stays. Everything you swipe away lands on a pile. You look it over once, confirm, done. If you want, PicSwipe sends you one photo a day. It shows up on your lock screen and you decide right there: keep or wipe. The app is free. No ads, no account, no tracking.
