“I freed up 14 GB on my first evening with Sweep. Swiping through old photos is weirdly addictive — I finally cleared a backlog I'd ignored for years.”

Why Sweep
Sweep gives you every tool you need to declutter thousands of photos and videos without the dread — and without a single upload.
Sweep shows one photo at a time — swipe right to keep, left to delete. Reviewing hundreds of shots feels fast and oddly satisfying instead of overwhelming.
Sweep groups your library into monthly batches with a progress bar for each, so you always know what's left and can pick up exactly where you stopped.
Sweep detects near-duplicate shots — the ten almost-identical selfies — highlights the best one to keep, and clears the rest in a single tap.
Sweep shrinks your largest photos and videos without deleting them, so you can win back gigabytes while keeping every memory in your library.
Sweep tracks total space reclaimed, items cleaned, and your cleanup streak, turning a boring chore into visible, motivating progress.
Sweep works entirely offline. Your photos and videos are never uploaded, never sent to a server, and never seen by anyone but you.
Nothing vanishes instantly. Items you delete land in your iPhone's Recently Deleted album, where iOS keeps them recoverable for 30 days.
Sweep handles your whole camera roll — HEIC photos, screenshots, Live Photos, and 4K videos — surfacing the big files that eat the most storage first.
How It Works
No accounts, no cloud, no learning curve. Download Sweep, grant photo access, and start reclaiming space in under a minute.
Download Sweep free from the App Store and allow access to your photos. Everything stays on your iPhone — Sweep never uploads a single image.
Sweep serves your library one photo at a time, grouped by month. Swipe right to keep, left to delete, and up to skip — no agonizing over folders.
Everything you swiped away collects in a basket. Review it once, tap delete, and watch Sweep report exactly how many gigabytes you just freed up.

“The similar-photos finder is the killer feature. It grouped 40 near-identical shots, picked the best one, and I deleted the rest in seconds.”
Sarah K.
Photographer
“Organizing by month makes it feel doable. Ten minutes on the bus and a whole month of screenshots is gone. My storage warning finally disappeared.”
Emma R.
Student
“Knowing nothing leaves my phone matters to me with family photos. Sweep is completely on-device, and deletes still go to Recently Deleted just in case.”
