Clean up screenshot clutter without losing what matters.
Camera rolls fill up with one-time verification codes, old boarding passes, duplicate receipts, and forgotten captures. Sift is a private screenshot cleaner for iPhone and Android that separates the screenshots worth keeping from the clutter you can safely delete.
Your screenshots contain Wi-Fi passwords, bank transfers, addresses, and private chats. Unlike cloud photo cleaners, Sift has no server and never uploads a single pixel.
1. Sift Mode: Swipe-to-clean in a minute a day
Open Sift Mode to triage new screenshots with fast gestures:
- Swipe left to delete: Marks the screenshot for cleanup without interrupting your flow with a confirmation popup on every swipe.
- Swipe right to keep: Files the screenshot into its sorted collection (Receipts, Trips, Recipes, Codes, Shopping, and more).
- Swipe up to act: Copy the Wi-Fi password, add the flight to Calendar, or set a reminder before letting the screenshot go.
2. Safe batch review before anything is deleted
Sift never deletes photos behind your back. When you finish swiping, you review the marked batch in one grid, uncheck anything you want to keep, and confirm the operating system's native delete prompt. Deleted screenshots remain in your phone's Recently Deleted / Trash folder for recovery.
3. Deep Clean: Duplicates, expired passes, and old codes
With Sift Pro, Deep Clean scans your screenshot library on-device to find:
- Duplicate screenshots: Near-identical captures taken seconds apart.
- Expired items: Past boarding passes, event tickets, and one-time verification codes (OTPs) you no longer need.
- Stale screenshots: Old unfiled screenshots sitting in your camera roll for months.
Frequently asked questions
Is Sift's screenshot cleaner free?
Yes. Automatic sorting, on-device OCR text search, and Sift Mode swipe-to-clean with batch deletion are completely free. Sift Pro ($2.99/month, $19.99/year, or $49.99 Lifetime) adds automated Deep Clean for duplicates and self-archiving expired screenshots.
Does Sift delete regular camera photos?
No. Sift only reads screenshots and never touches your regular camera photos or videos.
Can I recover screenshots after cleaning them up?
Yes. Because Sift uses Apple Photos and Android MediaStore system deletion, deleted screenshots move to your phone's Recently Deleted / Trash album first.
