DustFox

Finds what to delete

Swipe to Clean: swipe, decide, move on

Some photos need a human decision, not an algorithm. Swipe to Clean shows them one at a time and remembers every answer.

How does it work?

DustFox shows one shot at a time, full screen, with its size and date. Swipe left to delete it, right to keep it. That is the whole interface, and it is fast enough to go through a few hundred shots while waiting for a train.

Why does keeping matter?

A shot you keep is recorded on the device and never shown again. The next session starts with what you have not seen yet, so the pile always shrinks.

Where do the left swipes go?

They are collected, with their total size, and deleted together after you confirm once in the iOS dialog. Deleted shots move to Recently Deleted and stay there for 30 days.

When should I use it instead of the other methods?

When the question is taste rather than quality. Duplicates, blurry shots and screenshots have rules; the tenth photo of the same sunset does not.

Questions about Swipe to Clean

What happens to a shot I keep?

DustFox remembers it and never shows it again in Swipe to Clean, so you never judge the same photo twice.

Is a left swipe final?

No. Nothing is deleted until you confirm, and deleted shots wait 30 days in Recently Deleted.

Does Swipe to Clean count towards the free limit?

Yes. It is a deletion method, so it shares the free allowance of 30 items with the other deletion methods. DustFox Pro removes the limit.
