I accidentally made photo cleanup feel like doomscrolling

I accidentally made photo cleanup feel like doomscrolling

My phone storage kept getting full, but every time I opened my gallery to clean it, I’d close it again after 2 minutes because it felt overwhelming.

So I made a simple app where you clean photos by swiping left/right like Tinder 😭

Turns out making something feel fun changes everything. I’ve already deleted thousands of useless screenshots/memes.

Features are intentionally basic:
- swipe to keep/delete
- 7-day recovery bin
- local storage only
- surprisingly satisfying animations

Would genuinely love feedback from people with chaotic camera rolls.

I have get positive response so far,

I made a weirdly satisfying emoji version of 2048

I got tired of hyper-complicated mobile games, so I made a super simple 2048-style game with emoji merges + satisfying color block themes.

It started as a small experiment because I liked the original 2048 gameplay loop, but I wanted it to feel more visually fun and less “spreadsheet with numbers” 😭

Some themes are:
🟨 color block merges
🍔 food emojis
😀 emoji merges
🔢 classic numbers

Honestly the most addictive part is just watching the tiles merge smoothly.

Would genuinely love feedback on:
- which theme feels the most satisfying
- whether the swiping feels smooth enough
- what would make you keep playing longer

Posting a gameplay clip below.

Hey, I’m trying to launch my Android app and Google Play requires a small closed testing phase before I can go live.

I need 12 testers who can:
• install the app
• open it once
• keep it installed for 14 days
• open it a few times during those 14 days (not daily, just occasionally)

That’s it — no signup, no spam.

The app is a simple photo cleaner where you swipe left to delete and right to keep (trying to make cleaning your gallery less painful)

If you’re okay helping, please DM me your Gmail ID (Google requires emails to add testers) and I’ll send the test link 🙏

I’ll remove your email after the testing period. Happy to test your app in return too!

I realized something weird while building my app

photo cleaner apps don’t actually compete with the Photos app , they compete with Instagram and other scrolling Apps because no one opens a cleaner app intentionally like “let me be productive today” people only open it when they’re bored… same as social apps so the real challenge isn’t features, it’s making it engaging enough to steal those small free moments that completely changed how I designed mine

My iCloud has been full for weeks and it’s honestly so annoying now.

I keep getting the “storage almost full” notification, but when I actually try to clean my photos, I just give up after 5–10 minutes. There are too many memories and it feels weird deleting things one by one.

Do you guys actually sit and clean your gallery or just keep buying more storage?

I recently tried a different approach where you just swipe left/right on photos (kind of like Tinder), and weirdly it made the whole process way faster and less mentally draining.

**(Disclosure: I built this app called Swipe to Wipe)**

Not trying to promote here, just genuinely curious

do people prefer manual cleanup or something more interactive like this?

Also open to better ways to manage iCloud storage because right now it just feels like a mess

I’m convinced most “storage full” problems aren’t because we need more iCloud.

It’s because we’re too lazy to clean our photos.

Not even lazy actually… just annoyed.

You open Photos.
You hit “Select.”
You start tapping tiny thumbnails.
Scroll. Tap. Scroll. Tap.

After 2 minutes you’re done. Mentally.

Meanwhile 80% of my storage is:

– screenshots
– duplicates
– 12 versions of the same selfie
– random blurry pics

Deleting them shouldn’t feel like admin work.

It should feel like Tinder.

Show me one photo.
Swipe left = delete.
Swipe right = keep.

Quick. Mindless. Slightly addictive. So I actually built a small app that does exactly that. It just shows you your photos one by one and you swipe through them.

Cleared a few thousand in one sitting without even realizing.

Not trying to spam, just genuinely built it because I was annoyed.

Curious if anyone else would actually use something like this?I swear I’d clear 10k photos in one night if it worked like that.
