About

Be honest: how many of those thousands of photos do you actually want to keep? Fewphoto gives you one photo at a time. Swipe right and it stays. Swipe left and it goes. That is it. No folders to dig through, no endless scrolling, no paralysis. Just quick decisions, one after another, until your camera roll finally feels like yours again. You choose where to start. Go through your most recent shots, focus on the past seven days, or open a specific album that has been bothering you for a while. Fewphoto works with your library exactly as it is, no importing or setting up required. Made a mistake? Tap undo and your last swipe is reversed on the spot. And when you finish a session, Fewphoto shows you exactly which photos are marked for deletion before anything actually gets removed. You confirm, then it is done. If cleaning up your photos is something you keep meaning to do but never quite get around to, you can set a reminder. Pick how often you want a nudge and Fewphoto will check in with you, so it becomes something you do regularly rather than something you dread. Available in English and German.
