Sift — Photo Triage

Panielix LLC

About this app

Sift turns the slow misery of cleaning a 10,000-photo camera roll into a five-minute swipe session.

Most photo cleaners are cluttered, ask for accounts, or quietly upload your library to the cloud. Sift doesn't. Every photo gets a card. You flick. That's it.

──── HOW IT WORKS ────

Swipe LEFT to remove. Swipe RIGHT to keep. Swipe UP to file into an album. Swipe DOWN to save for later. One thumb, four decisions, hundreds of photos a session.

Nothing is permanently deleted until you say so. Removed items sit in a Trash with a configurable hold (immediate, 7 days, 30 days, or manual). Restore anything with one tap, or empty the trash when you're
sure.

──── FEATURES ────

• 4-way swipe deck with Undo
• Card view shows the photo, size, dimensions, date, and full path
• Full EXIF in a tap-up sheet: camera, lens, ISO, aperture, shutter, focal length
• Albums with cover mosaics + create-on-the-fly from the swipe deck
• "Later" queue for the maybes
• Trash with per-item Restore / Delete-Now and bulk actions
• Reclaimable-MB summary so you can see what you've actually freed
• 60fps target, 120fps on capable Android displays
• Portrait + landscape, tablet-friendly layout
• English and Spanish

──── PRIVACY FIRST ────

• No account, ever
• No cloud sync
• No advertising, no tracking SDKs sold to data brokers
• Optional, opt-in product telemetry (Mixpanel) — OFF by default
• Optional crash reporting (Sentry)
• Biometric lock (fingerprint / face) for the app itself

Your library never leaves your phone.

──── FREE FOR EVERYONE ────

No paid tier. No subscriptions. No "Pro" upgrade nag. Sift is free, forever, for every Android user.

What’s new

What's new since the seed build:
• Metadata sheet now shows when a photo was taken and its path on disk
• "File into album" picker shows a 3×3 preview of each album's photos,
matching the Saved tab
• Splash signature glows cyan (was theme-accent-tinted)
Behind the scenes: dropped an unused SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission and trimmed the manifest so the Data Safety form stays clean.
