Is Swipe really free?
Yes. The core photo and video cleaner is free. Lightweight ads help cover development and hosting costs, so the useful part does not need a subscription.
Swipe left to clear, right to keep, and double-tap to like. Every decision happens on your device—your actual photo library is never uploaded to a Swipe cloud.
TRY SWIPE
This preview now follows the real app: the same dark cleanup screen, progress counters, photo hints, trash controls, and floating glass tab bar.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Swipe works directly with the media library on your phone. Your photos and videos are not copied to a Swipe cloud. When you use Computer & drives, previews and requested media travel directly between Swipe Bridge on your computer and your phone over your local network.
Honest note: the mobile app is ad-supported, so internet is used to request ads and open external links. Ad-provider handling is disclosed in the privacy policy; your actual photo library and computer-drive media are not uploaded to Swipe for advertising.

There are already capable photo cleaners. Many charge before the useful work begins. Swipe keeps the core experience free and supports ongoing development with lightweight ads.
If Swipe saves you time or storage, a download, rating, or share genuinely helps fund better Android releases—and eventually the iPhone version.
Support Swipe on AndroidSwipe Bridge shares only the folder or connected drive you choose. Browse its photos and videos in Collections, then keep, like, or stage files for cleanup without copying the library onto your phone.

QUESTIONS
Yes. The core photo and video cleaner is free. Lightweight ads help cover development and hosting costs, so the useful part does not need a subscription.
No photo library is uploaded to a Swipe cloud. Phone cleanup stays on your phone. With Swipe Bridge, previews and requested media travel directly between your computer and phone over your local network.
Not yet. Swipe is Android-first today. An iOS release is planned when Android support and ad revenue can cover the extra publishing and maintenance cost.
Yes, through the local-network beta. Run Swipe Bridge on a Mac or Windows computer, choose an ordinary media folder or connected drive, then enter the six-character code in Swipe. Both devices need to be on the same trusted network.
Swipe first stages your choices for review. After you confirm, Swipe Bridge moves those files into recoverable Swipe Trash on that drive. Permanently emptying that trash is a separate action, so an accidental swipe does not immediately erase a file.
No internet connection is needed after Swipe and Swipe Bridge are installed. The phone and computer only need to reach each other on the same Wi-Fi or local network.
