Sifta—photo cleaner: swipe to delete, free up iPhone storage, clear blur, screenshots & bursts. Smooth gestures, pet companion, private on-device cleanup.
Sifta is a swipe-first photo cleaner for iPhone that helps you remove duplicates, blurry shots, burst photos, videos, and Live Photos without risky one-tap deletion.
Instead of deleting immediately, Sifta lets you keep what matters first, stage the rest safely, and review everything before removal. Core cleanup runs on your device, so your library stays private.

• Detect and play Live Photos in the video flow
• Use a safety-first staging queue before deleting
• Delete in stable batches with pause and continue controls
• Track cleanup progress over time
• Send feedback directly inside the app
Why people choose Sifta:
• On-device processing for better privacy
• No cloud upload required for core cleanup

• Swipe‑down undo is labeled «Take back» in English with clearer tutorial copy.
• Idle gesture hints now show swipe directions above Keep/Delete to guide new users.

• Lifetime Unlock shows a strikethrough reference price plus your App Store price.

1.1.3 May 26
• Home sift: filter by all, year, month, or day—with grid, calendar, and multi-select; narrow your range from the progress panel.
• Swipes follow your finger: up queues for AirDrop, down undoes, left deletes, right keeps—with color zones and inertia for light swipes.
• Staging replaces To delete; new Pending AirDrop list (separate from delete quota); share cards to apps like WeChat.
• Video: share and AirDrop from the feed, comfortable HDR playback, smoother autoplay and controls.
• Cleanup: tighter blur picks, sharper previews, burst groups with reliable undo, gentler segment scanning.
• Progress, pets, and preferences save on device first; smarter cloud merge when signed in; loading stresses on-device privacy.
• Smoother card stacks, idle gesture hints, and filter UI copy in 20+ languages.
1.1.2 May 19
• If your sign-in session expires, you'll return to login with a clear prompt instead of a stuck verification screen.
• More reliable cloud merge after reinstall or on weak networks fixes rare duplicate pets, duplicate welcome trials, or coffee coins briefly showing zero.
• Welcome gift card only on first real claim (shorter title); accounts that already claimed won't see it again after reinstall.
• Welcome trial dates follow your app language; Profile refreshes membership when online. Pet labels avoid English fallback in Chinese variants; reward dialogs fixed in Simplified Chinese; Turkish polish.
• In-app notices for important updates—mark Read to dismiss for good. Fixed trial Pro sometimes not restoring after updates or flaky networks.
• Clean Mode (default off) hides pet and home coin/gift hints and reduces reward prompts, with explanations in many languages; copyable user ID on Profile for support, simplified signed-in card.
• Faster, cooler startup: Home prioritises its photos with progress; Cleanup loads by segment instead of prefetching blur, screenshots, and burst all at once. Burst now matches Blur/Screenshots card flow—including Live badge, fullscreen, and long-press to play.
• Video prefetching and duplicate scanning reuse work and size filters to cut CPU and battery use on large libraries; brand and idle animations are gentler on the GPU and pause when hot, low battery, or in background.
• Home sift adapts decoding and motion to warmth and battery; short landscape/square photos support full-card swipes with idle hints layered above content.
• Fixed daily 20-photo batches crediting the bar but not always pet coins or the cloud; rewards sync sooner. Blur/Screenshot/Burst let you swipe the whole card area like filters—including empty margins.
1.1.1 May 13
• Profile footer copy is warmer and easier to read.
• Removed the debug entry from Profile; Settings again includes toggles for swipe sounds and idle guide hints (continuous video playback controls stay off this screen; saved choices still apply).
• Cleanup order is Blur, Screenshots, then Burst; organize Screenshots with swipes like Blur; Blur and Screenshots no longer show the photo-library progress bar (totals can shift while items load randomly); removed the extra “Screenshot” label on cards; still limits repeated suggestions.
• Sort, Screenshots, and Burst reviews use the same soft purple photo outline as Blur.
• Blur cards show short blur-level labels instead of the easy-to-misread thin bar, in many languages.
• Idle swipe hints on Sort, Blur, and Burst disappear as soon as you touch the screen; Burst’s pull-to-refresh hint also moves aside while you scroll.
• Daily reminders on Simplified Chinese setups (including system Chinese) follow your selected app language instead of English.
• After you update, reminders reschedule with new text so outdated English from older versions won’t keep showing.
• Fullscreen Live Photo preview: long-press plays the captured audio at system volume via the library’s paired video track, fixing silent playback.
1.1.0 May 11
• Pet mood now declines more slowly so your companion stays with you longer.
• Cleanup opens Blur first; Blur and Burst are easier to find in sensible order; gift buttons are aligned; Blur and Sort cards keep photo corners flush with their frames.
• Burst: swipe to organize photos with swipe-down undo like Sort and Blur; fullscreen layout, end-of-set undo, motion, and optional sound and haptics match those flows; the list shows a light idle pull-to-refresh hint; removed the "recently finished" section and trimmed noisy top banners.
• Video avoids audio until playback is ready, and returning to the tab reuses prepared clips when it can.
• Staging hints, the launch "loading video" line, and daily reminders are shorter and localized more widely; Simplified Chinese reminders rotate between friendly lines.
1.0.9 May 8
• Added swipe-down undo during sorting so you can quickly reverse the last action.
• Fixed a number of known issues and improved overall stability.
1.0.8 May 7

• Update prompt labels are now "Later" and "Update Now" (zh-Hans: “稍后再去 / 去更新”), with the zh-Hans title shown as “发现新版本”.
1.0.7 May 6
• Sign-out now tries first to sync pet data so gifts, coins, and backpack match when you sign in again.
• With multiple pets, Profile shows a subtle finger hint after idle—swipe sideways to switch (it stops nudging once you’ve learned).
• Incubating eggs hide breed/rarity until hatch; adoption sheet ~3:4, editable name, primary button for adopting a new pet.
• App Version: clearer checking / up to date / update, opens the App Store; subtitle shows the public version only.
• Limited-time perk card shows “No.” plus your serial, without extra crowd copy.
• Gift counts are steadier when switching apps; closing before the animation ends won’t consume a box in the background.
• Blur cleanup: idle swipe hint draws above the photo.
• Daily reminders: Chinese locales avoid raw key text; missing strings fall back to English.
• Sift: the first card can show the idle swipe hint once its photo loads.
• Video watched/total progress survives relaunch (demo mode excluded).
• Membership creator note matches your language with broader locale coverage.
• Profile heatmap: first sync after reinstall merges cloud history without another cold start.
• Sift progress, daily task, and Video counts are less likely to reset from permission or sync edge cases.
• Handbook pet names, status lines, and care-item names follow your language across supported locales.
• Unified dark loading shimmer + ring across launch, sign-in gate, Sift, Video, and blur cleanup.
• Video: deleting the playing clip still opens the next in the same play state.
• Live Photo fullscreen “long press to play” is localized (no key slugs).
• Pet care and adoption success toasts are localized.
• Staging batch-delete summary is simplified.
• Starter blind box only after account sync pull succeeds and merges; failed pulls won’t treat you as brand new; restoring pets from the cloud marks onboarding complete to avoid duplicate free pets.
• Spent gifts, shop coins, and backpack changes upload sooner so balances don’t look like they bounced back.
• Video feed: autoplays on entry; refresh reliably shows the picture (not just sound) and resumes from clip 1 with accurate watched/total.
• Video swiping: covers hold until the next clip's first real frame, so up/down no longer flashes the previous clip.
• Sift loading: account sync no longer resets the current deck mid-session.
1.0.6 May 5
• Video: browse in random order with progress; after a full round, start fresh.
• Each clip plays from the beginning.
• More reliable pet & coin sync after sign-in, with steadier UI updates.
• Background sync when you leave the app; reopen for the latest data.
• Shop categories, names, descriptions, and bulk gift strings refined across major languages.
• Cleaner sign-in with brand mark and the system button, plus subtle motion.
• Profile shows your registration order; first 1,000 users get a limited-time perk with special styling.
• Video tab: clearer progress bar; volume, refresh, and mute aligned; simpler loading copy.
• Shorter offline message—network required, with retry.
• While signed in, core features work offline (including Airplane Mode); sync resumes when online.
• Reward screens use one clear primary action—no redundant Close.
• Limited-time perk timing stays reasonable offline using your last successful sync.
• Home & Cleanup: idle swipe hints after a few seconds (visual demo only).
• Video: one-time vertical swipe hint after idle seconds on first visit to the tab.
• Refresh no longer drops your watched count on the Video tab.
• First install defaults to Dark; switch anytime in Profile → Preferences → Appearance.
