Local-first photo triage for iPhone

We suggest. You decide.

Photo Triage is an iPhone app for similar and exact duplicate photo decisions, not a broad phone cleaner. It groups photos on your device, points at the shot worth keeping, and waits for your confirmation before anything is deleted.

Illustration only. Photo Triage does not upload your library, and this page shows no real photos.

One loop. Three steps.

The whole product is a single decision loop, and you own the last step of it.

  1. Scan on device

    Grant Photos access, full or limited. Exact matches and similar groups are found on your iPhone using Apple's Photos and Vision frameworks.

  2. Review the suggestion

    Each group opens with a suggested keep based on on-device sharpness and face signals. Change the selection whenever you disagree.

  3. Confirm the delete

    Nothing is removed until you confirm. Deletions go through Apple Photos into Recently Deleted, so a mistake is still recoverable.

Your photos stay on your iPhone.

Local processing is the baseline for a tool that touches your whole photo library, not a marketing bonus.

  • No photo upload backend and no server side analysis
