Stop cleaning.
Start auditing.
Most photo apps function like a blunt broom — they scan for duplicates using basic file matching and prompt you to delete. Photosweepy is something fundamentally different.
It is a professional Media Auditing Engine with a personalized on-device AI, five independent quality signals, and a single guiding principle: you are always the Pilot.

Why every other cleaner falls short
Intelligence that learns you, not the internet
While competitors rely on generic crowd-sourced logic, Photosweepy runs a personalized MobileNet model that trains directly on your device — adapting to your aesthetic, your memories, your standards.
Intelligence that learns you — not the internet
The on-device MobileNet model trains on your specific Like/Dislike ratings. Every thumb press teaches it your aesthetic preferences, not a generic crowd average. The more you use it, the more precisely it reflects your eye.
Gradient thinking, not binary judgement
Competing apps use binary logic: a photo is "good" or it's "junk." Photosweepy uses gradient soft-label training that understands the spectrum between them — preserving the technically imperfect shot that has irreplaceable emotional weight.
100% on-device. Zero-knowledge by design.
All training and analysis run entirely on your Neural Engine. Your photos never leave your device — no cloud upload, no account, no data harvesting. Photosweepy sees your photos. We never do. Privacy isn't a setting; it's the architecture.
The algorithm that protects your micro-stories
A technically imperfect photo can be irreplaceable. Our Narrative Pruning algorithm ensures at least one representative frame of every "micro-story" survives, even if its quality score is lower — because context is a signal too.
5 layers of analysis. One surgical verdict.
Photosweepy doesn't ask if a photo is blurry. It conducts a full diagnostic across five independent quality signals before making a single suggestion.
Sharpness Engine
Gaussian & Sobel gradient analysisPixel-level blur detection that catches motion blur and focus failures invisible in thumbnails. The analysis that shows you the photo that looked fine on your phone is actually ruined.
Face Quality Scoring
Apple Vision frameworkBeyond detecting faces — evaluates focus quality, open eyes, genuine smiles, and frontal orientation. The difference between a keeper and a near-miss in a group portrait.
Aesthetic Score
Native Vision APIsDistinguishes artistic value from utility shots. A well-framed landscape versus a receipt photo versus a parking level sign — three photos, three very different relationships to your legacy.
Saliency & Composition
Visual center-of-gravity analysisAnalyzes framing and the visual weight distribution of a shot. Identifies the well-composed capture versus the accidental shutter-press — even when both are technically sharp.
NIMA ML Score
Your personalized MobileNet modelThe final weighted signal — a score calibrated to your taste, not an internet average. The longer you use Photosweepy, the more precisely this layer reflects your personal standard of a great photo.
Four radars. Maximum storage ROI.
Photosweepy categorizes your entire library into four specialized lenses — each targeting a distinct type of waste with a distinct strategy for eliminating it.
Storage Hogs
High-density clusters from vacations, concerts, and weddings. These represent the highest space-reclamation ROI — auditing one event can recover gigabytes in minutes.
Space Ghosts
Invisible technical waste: the hidden original behind a cropped image, the heavy video layer of a static Live Photo, the 60fps clip where 30fps would be identical. They don't appear in your camera roll — but they consume it.
Digital Dust
Accidental pocket-captures, blurred misfires, outdated utility screenshots, and reference photos you never needed to keep. Low emotional value, measurable storage cost.
Similar Moments
Vision Feature Prints (neural fingerprints) group Trigger Happy bursts into Smart Stacks. The Pilot reviews the whole sequence, the Radar surfaces the winner — based on sharpness, expression, and your personal aesthetic history.
Built for professionals.
Runs like the OS.
Every layer of Photosweepy is engineered for speed, safety, and sovereignty — from hardware-accelerated pixel math to in-place PHAsset editing that never leaves your Photos library.
Apple Accelerate framework handles pixel-level sharpness analysis at 35x the speed of standard solutions — without impacting battery or thermals.
BGTaskScheduler analyses new media while your device charges overnight. Your audit is ready when you wake up — no manual scan needed.
The engine monitors device temperature and battery health in real time, scaling parallel operations to stay fast without causing thermal throttling.
Space Ghost extraction uses PHPhotoLibrary for in-place edits — the original is removed, the edit is preserved, and nothing leaves the native Photos library.
The Pilot's Code
Reclaim your storage.
Preserve your legacy.
Be the Pilot.
From Cognitive Overload to Conscious Curation. Photosweepy transforms a dreaded chore into a data-driven ritual — one Post-Event Audit at a time. No subscriptions to stay private. No black boxes. No auto-deletes.
