Clean up your camera roll one swipe at a time. Game-style review, daily streaks, and bulk power tools โ€” turn the chore you skip into something you actually finish. A PHOTOS APP YOU'LL OPEN ON PURPOSE Photos Wizard turns the chore of cleaning your library into something you'll come back to. Swipe through your photos like a deck of cards, assign one action per swipe, and watch the backlog shrink. Streaks, daily quotas, and badges keep the momentum going. THE SWIPE DECK โ€ข One photo at a time, full-screen โ€” no grid to get lost in. โ€ข Bind any action to any direction: Delete, Favorite, Move to Album, Hide, Share, Review Later, or Skip. โ€ข Reassign your bindings anytime from the (?) menu โ€” your deck, your rules. โ€ข Smart filters: Screenshots, Large Videos, Hidden, Favorites, by Album. POWER TOOLS THE NATIVE APP LACKS โ€ข Bulk move into custom albums in a single pass. โ€ข Filter by what's actually wasting space โ€” screenshots, large videos, duplicates. โ€ข Per-window decks on Mac and Vision Pro: open two libraries side by side and sort them independently. โ€ข Multi-window everywhere your device supports it. A DAILY HABIT, NOT A ONE-OFF โ€ข Daily quota with a confetti finish when you cross it. โ€ข Streak counter โ€” clean a little every day instead of a panicked once-a-year purge. โ€ข XP and badges for milestones you actually care about (first 100 cleaned, first album sorted, longest streak). HOW IT WORKS 1. Grant Photos access โ€” we never upload your library; everything happens on-device. 2. Pick a filter (or just start with All Photos). 3. Swipe. Right to favorite, left to delete, up to add to album โ€” or rebind any of them. 4. Hit your daily quota, keep your streak, and watch the deck shrink. PERFECT FOR โ€ข Anyone whose camera roll has crossed 10,000 photos and stopped feeling browsable. โ€ข People who screenshot too much and never go back to clean up. โ€ข Folks who've tried "delete a photo a day" challenges and bounced off the friction. โ€ข Power users who want bulk album moves without dragging into the native Photos app. PRICING โ€ข Free forever for the core swipe loop โ€” clean up to 100 photos per day. โ€ข Pro unlocks unlimited daily swipes, vertical swipe actions, and the Review Later queue. PRIVACY Your photos never leave your device. Photos Wizard talks to Apple's Photos library locally โ€” no cloud upload, no third-party photo storage. Stop scrolling past 47,000 photos every time you open the camera. Swipe. Sort. Done. --- Privacy Policy: https://photoswizard.lpp.pw/privacy Terms of Service: https://photoswizard.lpp.pw/terms Support: contact@spatial-ai-labs.com
