Curate: Photo Cleaner

Swipe to keep or delete.

Curate makes cleaning up your photo library fast. Photos appear one at a time: swipe right to keep, swipe left to put one in your delete pile. Nothing is deleted until you review the pile and confirm. Deleted items go to Recently Deleted, where you can recover them for 30 days.

• Filter and sort by size, type and date to find what takes up space
• Find near-identical shots and keep the best one
• Optional on-device suggestions from Apple Intelligence
• No account, no ads, no tracking, no servers

Common questions

Will Curate delete my photos without asking?
No. Swiping only marks photos. They are deleted only when you tap Delete on the Review screen and confirm the system prompt.

Can I get a deleted photo back?
Yes. Open the Photos app, go to Recently Deleted, and recover it within 30 days.

I only shared some of my photos. Does Curate work?
Yes. Curate supports limited photo access. You can change the selection at any time from the app or in Settings.

The AI suggestions button is unavailable.
Suggestions need a device that supports Apple Intelligence, with it turned on in Settings. All other features work without it.

Where does my data go?
Nowhere. See the Privacy Policy.
