Sweep Cat

Piles on a table. You choose what goes.

Sweep Cat looks through your photos on your iPhone and lays them out in five piles: copies, similar shots, screenshots, big videos and blurry photos. In each group of look-alikes it marks a keeper. Flick the rest down into the bin, take back anything you change your mind about, then empty the bin: iOS asks first, and Photos keeps everything in Recently Deleted for 30 days. Sizes are shown as estimates. No account, no ads, no use limit. With Pro, a one-time purchase: shrink big videos, keep Live Photos as stills, a reminder a month after your last sweep, a Home Screen widget for the bin, and a rule that puts screenshots older than 30 days in the bin for you to check.

Why it exists

“Four copies of the same sunset and 2,000 old screenshots.”

  • The bin: nine photos ready to go, each with a button to take it back out, and Empty the bin, which iOS asks about first
