HandpickPhoto organizer for iPhone & iPad
Handpick gathers your trips, near-identical shots and likely junk into groups you can actually finish. You decide what stays.
One photo at a time, a full camera roll is close to three hours of swiping at a swipe a second. That's why it so often stops halfway.
But most of those photos aren't separate decisions. They're one trip, one burst of takes, one pile of screenshots.

Photos taken away from home are grouped by place and date. Review a trip as one set, then save it as an album, already named.
2Similar & Duplicates
Shots of the same moment sit side by side, with one put forward to keep. Keep First sends the others to Handpick’s Trash, not out of your library.
3Junk first
Screenshots, blurry and blank shots, QR codes and accidental clips come up first, each tagged with why. It can be wrong, so you still decide.
Trips, Similar, Duplicates and Junk first come with Handpick Plus. Each one has a free first try.
Privacy
Finding trips, similar shots and junk means looking closely at every photo. Handpick does all of that on your iPhone. There is no Handpick server to upload to, so nobody else ever sees your library, including the developer.
The one thing that leaves: to name a trip, Handpick asks Apple’s map service for the place name of one location. Never a photo.
Read the privacy policyEverything else takes one swipe: down to keep, up to delete. Free, with no daily limit and no ads.
KeepDeleteTry it: drag the photo, or use the buttons.
The photo moves to Handpick’s Trash. It is still in your library.
Recover any photo from Trash, or all of them at once.
Only when you tap Delete and confirm does a photo leave your library.
Deleted photos wait in Recently Deleted in Photos for 30 days.

No. Handpick finds trips, similar shots and junk on your iPhone itself. There is no Handpick server, no account and no analytics in the app, and its App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected. The only thing that goes out is one location per trip, sent to Apple’s map service to get the place name.
To sort your photos and find groups, Handpick has to read them, and it does that on the device. You can choose Selected Photos instead of full access; Handpick then works with just those.
No. Swiping up only moves a photo to Handpick’s Trash. Nothing leaves your library until you tap Delete and confirm in iOS, and deleted photos stay in Recently Deleted in Photos for 30 days.
It sometimes will, which is why every suggestion says why it was picked and you make the call. Keep a photo it suggested and it stays off the list for 30 days, or for good if you keep it again.
Swiping, favorites, albums, Trash, the calendar and the widget are free, with no limits. Plus adds every trip and memorable day, Similar, Duplicates, Junk first, Large Files and video compression. Your newest trip, a set of similar shots, a duplicate group and one video compression are free to try.
To cancel, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions → Handpick, at least 24 hours before it renews. To restore, tap Settings → Restore purchases in Handpick. Lifetime never renews.
