Glint is a photo-decluttering tool that turns cleaning up your library into a focused, one-card-at-a-time experience. No more squinting at thumbnail grids or worrying about a mis-tap wiping out the wrong shots. Pick an album, choose a start date and a direction (older or newer), then swipe: ◆ Four gestures, one-second decisions • Swipe left → Delete (goes to a pending list first — nothing disappears yet) • Swipe right → Keep • Swipe up → Save to your "Highlights" album • Swipe down → Share the original file, or add to an album of your choice • Changed your mind? Undo the last card with one tap ◆ Delete with a safety net Deleting only marks a photo. When you're done, a summary shows "Kept X / Delete Y / Highlights Z" before anything is removed in a single batch. Deleted photos still go to iOS "Recently Deleted" and can be recovered for 30 days. ◆ Videos too Videos auto-play muted on loop; tap for sound. Same gestures as photos. ◆ Context at a glance Each card shows capture time, file size and location, so it's easy to decide what's worth keeping. ◆ Resume where you left off Progress is saved after every swipe. Next time, jump straight back to the exact photo you stopped at. ◆ 100% on-device, zero tracking No account, no uploads, no analytics or ad SDKs. Your photos never leave your phone. ◆ Free to start, pay once Tidy up to 200 photos for free. Love it? A one-time "Unlock Forever" purchase removes the limit — not a subscription, no auto-renewal, no future charges. Available in English, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean. For everyone with 99,999+ photos and no idea where to start: swipe your way to the moments that matter.
