Afterglow: Photo Tidy

Afterglow — mindful photo cleanup for iPhone

A 100% on-device photo cleanup app. No network requests, no account, no third-party analytics. Your photos never leave your device.

— Three Acts —

Triage
Swipe through your camera roll. Left to release, right to keep, up to favorite. A calm card-stack rhythm.

Grace
A 7-day in-app grace period. Photos you release don't disappear right away — long-press to recall any of them. After Afterglow finally removes a photo, iOS's Recently Deleted may keep it recoverable for an additional window depending on your Photos settings.

Garden
What you truly release blooms in a 3D abandoned amusement park at perpetual dusk. Cool light becomes moss; warm light becomes flowers; high-energy frames become fireflies. Each plant is a quiet farewell — nothing stays, but everything nurtures what comes next.

— Brand Promise —

• 100% on-device — every Vision analysis, SwiftData write, and 3D render happens on your iPhone
• No uploads, no account — your library is never sent anywhere; no sign-in required
• Zero data collection — no photo upload, no face embeddings, no GPS or EXIF beyond date
• No third-party SDKs — no ads, no analytics, no trackers
• Seasonal recap — see the colors, archetypes, and storage curves of your spring/summer/autumn/winter
• 11-archetype codex — moss, mushroom, flower, vine, firefly, butterfly, fruit tree, paper, scrap, statue, wild grass
• Smart Sort — tap to surface similar, blurry, or overexposed frames first

You don't have to fight forgetting. Let it be a garden you can walk through.
