DAYPACK: Photo Cleaner, 3 Ways

Where is that photo?

The one you want to show never comes up. Two kinds of photos are filling your camera roll.

The first kind you could delete but haven't. Bursts, near-duplicates, screenshots. These can go. Deciding is just tedious.

The second kind you can't bring yourself to delete. Photos of your kid. The 300 you took on that trip. An ordinary afternoon. Not the best shot, but not deletable either. So they stay.

Ordinary photo cleaners only know how to delete. They never touch the second kind, so the bulkiest part of your library survives every cleanup.

DAYPACK never deletes on its own. Only the photos you decide on.

■ Keep. Delete. Or PACK.

Most photo cleanup gives you two choices. DAYPACK has a third.

- Keep — favorites stay as photos
- PACK — the ones you can't decide on become a single clip, in the order you shot them
- Delete — the rest leave your Photos app

Keeping everything is lazy. Deleting everything is reckless. PACK is where the undeletable ones go.

■ Shrink what you can't delete

Turn 300 photos into one clip and 300 rows leave your camera roll. The contents stay in shooting order, ready to watch any time.

They no longer live as photos. They live as frames inside one clip. You can stop on any frame and pull it back out, though not at the original quality.

■ Just swipe

Photos come one at a time. Swipe right to keep, left to delete, down to PACK. About a second each. A grid mode lets you pick in bulk.

■ See what actually left

Sorted and actually removed are counted separately, along with the space you freed.

■ Delete with confidence

- Nothing is deleted on its own. Every deletion goes through your action and the iPhone confirmation dialog
- Watch the PACK first, then decide what happens to the originals
- Your photos never leave your device

■ Free forever

Sorting, packing and deleting are free. Pro adds finish and peace of mind: one second per photo, quality closer to the original, iCloud storage and app lock.
