A little help, when you need it.

Support

Keep or Skip helps you review photos and videos on iPhone. Nothing is deleted just because you swipe.

Review at your own pace

Grant access to the photos you want to review. The app scans available media from new to old and builds a review queue. It checks for library changes when you return. Updates are designed to let you finish the current item or stack before moving to new items.

Swipe right to Keep. The file stays in Photos, with your choice saved in the app.
Swipe left to Skip. The app calls this Trash: a reversible choice, not deletion from Photos.
Prefer tapping? Use the Keep and Trash buttons on the media.
Changed your mind? Tap the curved-arrow Undo control to reverse the latest available review action. Undo is not a way to reverse a confirmed Photos deletion.

Compare a stack

Similar photos appear together. Make choices for each visible photo. The first Keep stays as Best, beside later photos. The Keep control shows Kept or Best. Open its options and choose Keep as Best to change the reference; the previous Best remains kept. You can keep several good photos, not just one. Pinch to inspect detail. The last photo still belongs to the stack, even when it appears alone.

Review a video

Videos have a video label and playback controls. Play or pause, scrub through the clip, and control sound. Swipe on the video area or tap Keep or Trash. Dragging the playback slider seeks through the video rather than making a review choice.

Select several items

Open the review options menu and choose Select Multiple. Tap thumbnails to select, or drag across them. Use a thumbnail’s separate preview icon to inspect it. The count represents unique files.

History: Keep and Trash together

Tap the Trash/Keep counts at the top right to open History. Labels distinguish Kept from In Trash. Files in Trash are selected for deletion by default. Check the selection before continuing: selection is separate from the saved Keep/Trash decision.

To restore, select files labelled In Trash and tap Restore. They return to review; their originals were never removed from Photos.
To delete, select only the files you intend to remove and tap Delete. You can deselect files or use the selection menu.
Apple Photos presents its own confirmation. Cancel to leave the originals in place. Only confirm if you want to remove those files from your Photos library.

Deletion affects Apple Photos. If iCloud Photos is enabled, Apple can synchronize deletion to iCloud and your other devices. The app’s Restore and Undo do not recover files already deleted through Photos. For those, check Apple Photos → Recently Deleted; recovery is subject to Apple’s rules and availability.

Deletion may be temporarily unavailable while scanning, retrieving previews or another deletion is in progress. Wait for that operation to finish. The app never empties Trash automatically.

Photos access and iCloud

You can choose limited access or full access in Apple’s permission dialog. To change it later, open iPhone Settings → Apps → Keep or Skip → Photos, or find the app under Privacy & Security → Photos. Labels and paths vary by iOS version. With limited access, only your permitted items can be reviewed.

If an item exists only in iCloud, it may need downloading before review. In the app’s Settings, use Retrieve Pending iCloud Previews and approve the retrieval. This uses Apple’s Photos services and may use network data. It does not upload your library to the developer.

If something isn’t ready

A photo or video won’t load

Check Photos access, try Retry, and ensure the item is still in Apple Photos. For cloud-only media, check your connection and the pending iCloud previews in Settings. Video playback currently relies on media available locally through Photos; open it in Apple Photos to download it, then retry.

Skip for Now moves past an unavailable item without marking it as bad or putting it in Trash. Keep/Trash actions are blocked until the required media is ready.

Scanning seems slow or a new photo is missing

Return to the app and allow the background update to progress. In Settings, check the scan status. If it was paused, choose Resume Scan. Check limited Photos access: a new item may not be included in the allowed selection. Cloud-only items may need explicit preview retrieval. Keep the app open for work to continue; iOS can suspend it in the background.

I closed the app. Are my choices gone?

Choices and scan progress are saved locally and restored on launch. Removing the app removes its local session data. Do not delete and reinstall as a first troubleshooting step. If a saved review cannot be read, the recovery screen offers Retry and, when available, Restore Backup with confirmation. A backup may omit recent changes; the damaged original is preserved. An unsupported version requires an app update or support, not a reset. Do not uninstall to fix this. Contact support if restoration fails.

I cancelled a deletion or it failed

Cancelling the Photos confirmation does not delete anything. Check the current selection in History before retrying. If access changed or an item disappeared, restore permission or let the library refresh first. Do not assume an error means all selected files were removed.

Optional usage analytics

In builds with analytics configured, a separate Usage Analytics prompt lets you choose Share Usage Analytics or Don’t Share. You can change this in the app’s Settings → Privacy → Share Usage Analytics. Some builds show analytics as unavailable.

Analytics is off until you agree. Declining keeps all features available. Turning it off clears unsent events and the local analytics identifier; it does not erase events already received by PostHog. Photo contents and library identifiers are never part of these events. Read what is collected.
