DataOffloader is the fastest way to move photos and videos from your iPhone to an external SSD. If you shoot a lot of content — whether for work, social media, or personal projects — your iPhone storage fills up fast. Especially with ProRes, 4K, and Cinematic Mode videos. DataOffloader gives you a simple, powerful workflow: browse, select, transfer, done. HOW IT WORKS Connect your external SSD to your iPhone via USB-C. Open DataOffloader. Select the media you want to offload. Tap Move or Copy. That's it. SMART BROWSING See all media from the last 24 hours, 3 days, or 7 days at a glance — or browse your entire library. Navigate your existing albums with built-in search. The default view shows your most recent content, so you can offload today's shoot in seconds. POWERFUL FILTERS Filter by media type: photos only, videos only, ProRes, RAW, Live Photos, Slow-Mo, Time-Lapse, Cinematic, or Screenshots. Sort by newest, oldest, largest file size, smallest, or video duration. Find exactly what you need, fast. FAST SELECTION Tap to select individual items. Swipe across the grid to select many at once. Select All to grab everything in your current view. A live counter shows how many items you've selected and their total size. MOVE, COPY, OR DELETE Move files to your external SSD to free up iPhone storage immediately. Copy files to keep them on both devices. Delete files you no longer need with a double-confirmation safety net. DataOffloader preserves original file quality — no compression, no conversion. BUILT FOR CREATORS Whether you're a filmmaker shooting ProRes on iPhone, a photographer managing RAW files, or a content creator clearing space between shoots — DataOffloader is the tool you've been missing. Requires an iPhone with USB-C connector and an external storage device.

Finally tackle your camera roll. You've been meaning to for years. RollSift makes it something you can actually finish — one month at a time, one swipe per photo. HOW IT WORKS One photo fills the screen. Swipe left to keep it, right to delete it, up to skip. That's it. There's nothing to learn and nothing to set up. A MONTH IS A SIZE YOU CAN FINISH Twelve thousand photos is a chore nobody starts. August is forty photos and eight minutes. RollSift splits your library into months so there's always a group small enough to be worth starting, and the list shows how much is left in each one. NOTHING IS DELETED UNTIL YOU SAY SO Swiping only marks. At the end of a group you see everything you marked, and how much space it will free, and you can tap any photo to keep it after all. One confirmation deletes the batch. Everything goes to Recently Deleted for 30 days, exactly like Apple Photos. WATCH THE SPACE COME BACK Every session ends on a real number — what you freed just now, and what it adds up to over time. PLACES TO START - Most recent, for the photos you just took - Surprise me, for when you don't know where to begin - Videos and biggest files, where the gigabytes actually hide - Pick days, to clear a whole trip at once - Screenshots, selfies, live photos, and your own albums YOUR PHOTOS STAY IN YOUR LIBRARY RollSift processes your photos and videos on your iPhone. Your photos are not uploaded to RollSift. No account or sign-up is needed. When you open the info sheet on a photo with GPS, Apple turns those coordinates into a place name.
