Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Swipe to release photos. What you let go blooms as moss, flowers, and fireflies in a 3D abandoned amusement park. 100% on-device — no network, no analytics.
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

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