Simpic makes it easier to sort photos, review clutter, and organize your photo library on your device. No account is required, and Simpic does not upload your photos or organizing history. SWIPE TO ORGANIZE • Swipe diagonally to keep an item or place it in Pending Deletion; swipe left or right to browse. • Undo your last action, preview photos, play videos and Live Photos, and add items to albums. • Browse unorganized photos, screenshots, videos, large videos, or a random item. REVIEW BEFORE DELETING • Review suspected duplicates and similar photos, with local image-quality recommendations to help choose what to keep. • Find potentially blurry photos and burst sequences. • Filter Pending Deletion by photos, videos, screenshots, or favorites; sort by date, size, or queue order. • Restore items or confirm deletion through the system photo library. Deleted items are managed by iOS Recently Deleted. SMART TASKS • Organize today, this month, last month, or a custom date range, or start a short review session. • Build a review queue for a space-saving goal, with estimated file sizes. • Review screen recordings, short videos, animated images, Live Photos, large photos, RAW photos, slow-motion videos, and time-lapse videos. • Smart tasks skip favorites, edited or hidden items, previously handled items, and protected albums by default. OFFLINE TOOLS • Screenshot Search: recognize text and QR codes locally, then search or filter possible codes, expired content, and privacy clues. • Library Health & Privacy: review location metadata, potentially sensitive screenshots, edited originals, empty albums, and albums with matching names. • Media Optimization: create an optimized video copy or save a Live Photo as a still image while keeping the original. • Verified Archive: export locally available resources from Pending Deletion to Files or external storage, with a resumable manifest and SHA-256 verification. ALBUMS AND PROGRESS • Create albums, add or remove items, choose shortcut albums, ignore albums, and resume organizing them later. • Use the kept-items album to help preserve recognition of kept items after reinstalling. • Revisit kept items, filter favorites or the last 30 days, track organizing progress and cleanup statistics, and set a daily goal. • Customize home-menu visibility and order, swipe distance, haptics, animations, light/dark appearance, and app icon appearance. Available in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, and Spanish. Analysis runs on your device.
