About

Oushi

Features
Read full description

Oushi is a free tool for revisiting and tidying your photos and videos. It opens your library at random, bringing back the pictures and clips you rarely look at, and lets you clear out what you don’t want to keep along the way. Random review, or by date Choose random order, newest first, or oldest first. Photos and videos come up together; a video plays in a loop when its card comes up, silent by default, with sound a tap away. Swipe to keep, pull down to let go Swipe left or right to keep the current item and see the next one. Pull down to put it in the deletion queue. Changed your mind? Undo any action within the current batch. Review before deleting Everything in the deletion queue is shown together, where you can restore or delete a selection, or all of it at once. Until you confirm, the originals stay in your library. At your own pace Batches hold 15 to 50 items. Your progress is saved on your device, so you can pick up where you left off. Favorite the photos and videos you love; favorites stay in sync with the Photos app. True to the photo’s colors The background takes its color from the photo. On supported devices and systems, HDR photos, HDR videos, and Liquid Glass controls are shown in full. Haptic feedback, photo HDR, and video HDR each have their own setting. Optional iCloud sync There is no Oushi account. You can choose to sync your review and deletion-queue records through your own iCloud; the sync keeps only media identifiers and review state, never the photo or video files themselves. Free to use, with no ads, no in-app purchases, and no subscriptions.
