GalerSwipe

GalerSwipe helps you review and organize the photos and videos already in your iPhone library. Swipe through media one item at a time, keep what matters, and send unwanted items to Trash only when you choose. Create folders, use filters to find what you need, see media sizes, and understand your storage use. Edit photos and videos, save edits as a copy, or revert them when you need to. View photo locations and revisit memories by place. Similar Photos groups related shots using information already available in your library, such as capture time and location. You review every group before deleting anything; GalerSwipe never removes your photos automatically. A biometrically protected Locked Folder keeps private media behind your device’s security, while statistics help you follow your cleanup habits. Premium adds an ad-free Swipe experience, unlimited use, and advanced organization tools. Your photos stay in your own library. GalerSwipe does not upload your photos or videos to its servers to provide its cleanup tools.
