Three swipes, a tidy library
Swipe right to keep, left to delete, tap the heart for the ones worth saving — two minutes a day clears out years of screenshots, bursts and throwaways. No account, no uploads; deletes are always two-step and reversible for 30 days.
One round, three steps
Pick a pool × range
Choose one pool and one time range in the same sheet, then start a round with a single tap.
Swipe to decide
One photo at a time, no agonizing. A directional stamp follows your thumb; the heart in the middle favorites without turning the card.
Review and settle
A grid review before anything is deleted — tap any photo to rescue it. Only after you confirm does it reach Recently Deleted.
Fast rounds, and every step is reversible
Right keeps, left deletes; past the threshold the card flies off with a stamp trailing your thumb. Up and down never decide anything, so nothing gets deleted by accident. The heart is a toggle, not a verdict: one tap writes it to Favorites in Photos, another removes it, and the card stays put.
Every decision can be undone (your daily quota comes back too). Quit mid-round and the spot is saved — force-quit the app and you return to the very same photo.
Tap a card to expand it in place: pinch to zoom, double-tap to magnify, hold to play a Live Photo. Videos get a custom player with a draggable scrubber and one-tap pseudo-fullscreen for landscape. Swipe up for camera settings, EXIF and location; swipe down to dismiss.
12 / 24 / 48 per round, or Endless until the pool runs dry — settle manually whenever you like. Shorter rounds are easier to keep up.
A combo counter floats up as you keep deciding, backed by haptics with real weight — a little feel for an otherwise dull chore.
Pool × time range: what to review, and from when
Content and time multiply into one round — a combination like “Screenshots · July 2026” is one tap away.
Seven pools
Random (default) · Screenshots (fastest to judge) · Largest first (start with the big ones) · Videos (the real space hogs) · Duplicates & bursts (keep one per set) · Live Photos (paired MOV included) · My Favorites (tidy the favorites themselves). Each pool shows its live count and size.
Four ranges
All time · last 30 days · this year · a specific month. The month grid is sorted by remaining size so the month worth attacking is obvious; finished months fade out. An empty combination doesn't throw an error — it offers three tappable ways forward.
Deletes are always two-step, with three layers of undo
A left swipe just queues the photo. The queue survives across sessions — leave mid-round and nothing is lost.
A review grid stands between you and deletion; tap any photo to rescue it, and “Rescue all” asks a second time.
Once confirmed, photos land in Recently Deleted and stay recoverable for 30 days. The in-app view logs every batch with a D-N countdown and jumps you to Photos to reclaim the space.
Pick from a burst; tidy your favorites too
iOS only hands apps the cover photo of a burst, so deleting the cover deletes the whole set — we say so plainly and give you a way to pick through it.
Burst cards say “Burst · 12” outright, the size covers the whole set, and both the review grid and the delete count report the real number — you'll never think you deleted just one.
Tap “Pick one” to expand the set, scroll through it and keep the ones you want; the rest join the delete queue — still two-step, still recoverable for 30 days.
Tapping it writes straight to Favorites in Photos, visible in the Photos app too. Unfavoriting on either side syncs to the other — no parallel bookkeeping.
The My Favorites pool reads the whole Favorites album so you can go through it photo by photo: delete what's stale, keep what isn't, and one tap on the heart removes it from Favorites.
Settings can clear every keep/delete decision and return all photos to the queue. Not a single photo is touched, and totals like space freed and your streak are kept.
Stats, achievements and the small stuff
Stats and achievements
Total space freed, a by-month bar chart, day streaks and best combo; four achievements that only count upward — no countdown anxiety.
Instrument-panel design
Pure black, hairline monospaced readouts, a single accent orange — light and dark themes that can follow the system. While sorting, the current photo's blurred tint can fill the background.
Nine languages + demo library
The interface speaks English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Deutsch, Español, Français and Português, or follows your system. A locally generated demo library lets you learn the flow before granting photo access.

Frequently asked
Can deleted photos really be recovered?
Yes. Deleting in PixelSnack is always two-step: a round only marks photos, and the system delete is called after you confirm in review. They then sit in Recently Deleted in Photos, restorable as a batch for 30 days.
Are my photos uploaded to your servers?
No. There are no accounts, no servers and no third-party analytics — the app doesn't even ask for network access.
What are the free limits?
50 decisions a day with the Random · All time combination. Review, undo, Recently Deleted and stats all stay available. For light use it's effectively free forever.
Can I still upgrade to Lifetime after subscribing?
Yes, and it's cheaper that way: an active subscriber can upgrade to Lifetime in-app for the discounted difference. Afterwards you can cancel the subscription and keep Pro forever.
Does deleting one burst photo delete the whole set?
It does — that's how iOS works, so we label it clearly: burst cards read “Burst · N”, and both size and delete counts cover the whole set. To keep only some of them, tap “Pick one” below the card; what you select stays and the rest join the delete queue.
Will a huge library (tens of thousands) be slow?
No. The first scan is progressive: the newest few thousand are ready immediately while the rest index in the background. Thumbnails load in tiers and nothing is forced through iCloud.
