What the app does
Solo.Swipe turns photo cleanup into a card-by-card review driven by swipe gestures. Each photo fills the screen as a card. Swiping left marks it for deletion, right keeps it, up files it into an album, and down skips it. Nothing is removed until you confirm at the end of a session, and deletion is then carried out by iOS, which places the items in the Recently Deleted album for 30 days.
Rather than presenting the whole library at once, the app splits it into finishable sets — a single day, month or year, an album, a location, screenshots, selfies, videos, panoramas, RAW files, burst photos, your largest files, or a random batch of twenty photos. Smart Modes add a second layer, using on-device image analysis to surface photos worth reviewing first, such as blurry shots, photos where someone blinked, documents and receipts, food, pets, plants, vehicles and sunsets. A separate duplicates view groups near-identical photos so one can be kept and the rest cleared.
Progress is tracked with session statistics, a storage breakdown, daily goals, streaks and an optional home screen widget, which is what makes the app work as a short daily habit rather than a one-off cleanup.
How photos are handled
Processed on device
The library is read through Apple's PhotoKit framework and analysed with Apple's Vision and Core Image frameworks, locally on the iPhone.
Never uploaded
There is no Solo.Swipe photo server. Images are not copied off the device, sent to a cloud service, or shared with third parties.
Deletion via iOS
Confirmed cleanups are handed to iOS, which moves items to Recently Deleted, where they can be restored for 30 days.
Local app data
Preferences, statistics, streaks and album references are stored on the device and removed when the app is deleted.
The free version is supported by advertising delivered through Google AdMob, which receives device and ad-request data but never your photos; the paid upgrade removes ads. The full detail is in the Solo.Swipe privacy policy.
The developer
Solo.Swipe is designed and built by Gül Eda Aydemir, an independent iOS developer. The app is written natively in Swift for iPhone, with no cross-platform framework, and is maintained as a solo project — the design, the code, the localizations and Detective Raccoon all come from the same desk.
Updates and behind-the-scenes work are posted on Instagram at @solo.stasera. Feedback, bug reports and feature requests are welcome at soloswipeapp@gmail.com.
Detective Raccoon
Detective Raccoon is the app's mascot and guide. A cluttered photo library is treated as a case file: the raccoon points out the suspicious evidence — blurry shots, forgotten screenshots, twelve near-identical photos of the same coffee — and celebrates when a session is closed. The playfulness is functional rather than decorative; a cleanup task that feels like a game is one people actually return to the next day.
