Sift

Your camera roll holds thousands of photos. Most of them you'll never look at again — but deleting feels risky, so nothing gets cleared.

Sift makes it simple: swipe right to keep, swipe left to delete. One photo at a time, at your own pace. What you're really doing is deciding which moments matter — and Sift makes that feel easy rather than overwhelming.

Designed so nothing is gone for good the moment you swipe.

Deleted, not gone
Deleted photos go to your phone's Trash automatically — recoverable for about 30 days, so nothing is lost the instant you swipe. Want the space back right away? Premium lets you permanently delete and free storage instantly.

Smart Collections
Sift organises your photos automatically so you can review them in context:

• People & Pets — turn it on to group photos by face, so you can clear duplicates of the same person in one go
• Trips — photos from the same location and time window, grouped as a journey
• Places — your most-visited spots, surfaced automatically
• Food, Selfies, Screenshots, and more

All grouping happens on your device using on-device machine learning. Your photos never leave your phone.

Your privacy, by design
Sift processes everything on your device. No photos are uploaded, no face data is transmitted, no account required. Opt-in usage statistics contain no photos, no personal information, and nothing that identifies you or your device.

Free and Premium
Sift is free to use. Your first session covers the last 30 days of photos. After that, a new session unlocks every 7 days covering that week's new photos — so your library stays current as you shoot.

Upgrade to Premium for:
• Unlimited sessions — review whenever you want
• Your full photo library, not just the last week
• All Smart Collections — People & Pets, Places, Trips, and more
• All time filters — browse by any month or date range
• Permanently delete to free storage space instantly — no waiting for Trash to clear

Try Premium free for 14 days, then billed yearly — cancel anytime in Google Play. Subscription and lifetime prices are shown in the app, localized to your region.

Sift manages photos on your device. Photos backed up to Google Photos or other cloud services are not affected.
