How it works
One photo at a time. One decision at a time.
No grids to scan, no checkboxes to tick. Swipr shows you one photo and asks one question.
Swipe left to delete
It moves to Swipr's Trash, not out of your life. Changed your mind? Undo is one tap away.
Empty Trash when you're ready
Review what you swiped away, then delete it in one go. Swipr reminds you after the number of days you choose.
On-device AI
Search your photos by what's in them.
Type what you remember, not when you took it. Swipr's AI looks at every photo and video and finds the ones that match, right on your iPhone. No photo is ever uploaded.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is Swipr?
Swipr is a photo clean-up app for iPhone and iPad. It shows your photos one at a time: swipe right to keep a photo, swipe left to move it to Trash. Its on-device AI can also find photos by what they show, the text in them, or what looks similar, and group duplicates.
Does Swipr upload my photos?
No. Swipr never uploads your photos. Sorting, AI search, text recognition and duplicate detection all run on your iPhone or iPad. The only download is the optional AI search model, and that request contains no photos or personal data.
Are photos deleted as soon as I swipe left?
No. A left swipe moves the photo to Swipr's Trash, and you can undo it. Photos are only deleted when you empty Trash, and iOS then keeps them in Recently Deleted in the Photos app for 30 days.
How does the AI photo search work?
When you turn on Pictures search, Swipr downloads Google's open EmbeddingGemma 2 model once (388 MB) and builds a search index on your device, by default only while it is charging. You then type or speak a description such as "dog on the beach" and Swipr shows the photos that match. Text in photos uses Apple's built-in text recognition and needs no download.
Does the AI search need an internet connection?
Only once, to download the model. After that, indexing and searching work offline, on the device.
How much does Swipr cost?
Swipr is free, with a few ads at natural pauses. Swipr Pro is a one-time in-app purchase that removes all ads. There is no subscription.
Which devices does Swipr support?
iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or later. The layout also adapts to the larger and foldable iPhone displays.
Can I try Swipr without giving it access to my photos?
Yes. If you decline photo access, Swipr offers a set of sample photos so you can try swiping, Trash, albums and search. You can also give Swipr access to selected photos only.
When is Swipr available?
Swipr is coming soon on the App Store.
