Photo cleanup without the mess

Every SnapBin feature, explained

SnapBin is a swipe-first photo cleanup app for iPhone. Swipe right to keep, swipe left to clean up, and let the Review Bin protect you from accidental deletion. Here is the full feature set.

Swipe-first photo cleanup

The core of SnapBin is one photo or video at a time on a dark, distraction-free screen. Decisions take a single gesture, so you can process hundreds of items in one sitting.

  • Swipe right to keep, swipe left to mark for cleanup.
  • Undo your last swipe with one tap if you change your mind.
  • Tap any photo for a full-screen preview; videos play with native controls.
  • Haptic feedback and color cues make every decision feel deliberate.

Review Bin: deletion stays safe by default

Swiping left does not delete anything. Items go to the Review Bin first, where nothing is permanently removed until you explicitly confirm. This safety net is the heart of SnapBin.

  • Review pending deletions as a list or grid before confirming.
  • Undo individual items, restore a selection, or empty the bin back to your library.
  • Delete everything at once only after an explicit confirmation step.
  • Optional Instant Delete mode for power users who want maximum speed.

Keep Bin: a record of what you kept

Right swipes are tracked too. The Keep Bin shows everything you decided to keep, organized by month and year, so your choices stay transparent and reversible.

  • Kept photos are skipped in future cleanup passes, so you never re-review them.
  • Revert individual keeps, a whole month, or everything at once.
  • Full-screen preview with date, file size, and media type.

Scoped cleanup passes

You never have to face your whole library at once. Pick a focused cleanup pass that matches the session you actually have time for.

  • Clean everything, a specific year, or a single month.
  • The active scope is always visible while you swipe.
  • Scoped sessions make 20,000-photo libraries feel manageable.

Duplicate photo finder

SnapBin finds exact copies and visually identical photos, even at different resolutions or compression levels, and helps you recover the storage they waste.

  • Scans run in the background while you keep swiping.
  • Compare copies side by side and pick the one to keep.
  • Auto-purge keeps the largest file per group and stages the rest in the Review Bin.
  • Optionally include iCloud photos or scan device-only for speed.

Photos and videos alike

Videos are first-class citizens. Screen recordings, old clips, and large video files move through the same swipe loop, bins, and previews as photos.

  • Videos show a play overlay in the swipe loop and play back with native controls.
  • File size is shown in previews so you can spot the big storage wins.

Private by design, on-device only

Your camera roll never leaves your phone. All cleanup decisions, bins, and duplicate fingerprinting happen on-device. SnapBin has no accounts, no cloud sync, and uploads nothing.

  • No photo content is ever uploaded to SnapBin servers.
  • Duplicate detection uses on-device fingerprinting.
  • No analytics trackers, no ads, no data sale.

Fair pricing: pay once, not monthly

SnapBin is free to use with a generous daily swipe allowance. One optional one-time purchase unlocks unlimited swipes forever, with no subscription.

  • 500 free swipes on your first day, 250 every day after.
  • Every feature works on the free tier; only daily swipe count is limited.
  • Early Supporter is a single lifetime purchase, restorable on new devices.
  • Optional daily, weekly, or monthly cleanup reminders keep you on track.
