I made an honest photo cleaner for iOS that puts you first

Hacker News

Hello HN! Driven by the desire to avoid upgrading to the 2TB iCloud tier, I made a photo cleaning app for iOS that helps you systematically review your photos. While there are many similar apps, none of them checked all the boxes for what I wanted: - Clear privacy guarantee that photos never leave your device - Being honest about free limit usage. Some apps let you review photos only to reveal you can delete just a couple per day when you try to empty the trash. Basically taking your time hostage, when you've already gone through hundreds of photos - Context for better decisions. A lot of the apps use swipe-based UIs that only show one photo at a time, making it hard/impossible to see surrounding photos to make a proper decision - An enjoyable experience with features like zooming and sharing. You should be able to have fun and relive your memories, given you are already doing the tedious task of going through hundreds of photos I hope that these factors illustrate why I decided to enter this crowded space with my own take. Thank you for your time, and if you consider giving it a look, I would definitely appreciate any feedback. Tony
