SwipeClean26: Photo Cleaner SwipeClean26: Photo Cleaner

Built by an independent developer 一個香港獨立開發者做的 App

Hi — I'm Sing Hei Yeung, an independent iOS developer based in Hong Kong. I build apps under the name apptah. 你好，我是 楊星熙（Sing Hei Yeung），香港的獨立 iOS 開發者，apps 都在 apptah 這個品牌下發佈。

SwipeClean26 started from a personal frustration. My iPhone is full of half-duplicates — five photos of the same coffee, twelve nearly-identical sunset shots, screenshots I forgot existed. Cleaning them up manually takes forever. The existing "photo cleaner" apps either upload your library to a server (which I'm not comfortable with), charge a monthly subscription for what's essentially a one-time job, or do both. SwipeClean26 是從我自己的痛點出發的——iPhone 裡全是半重複的相片：同一杯咖啡拍五張、夕陽連拍十二張、截圖根本忘記存過。手動清理永遠清不完。市面上的「相片清理 App」要嘛把你的相簿上傳到伺服器（我不放心），要嘛收月費（清理是一次性工作，憑什麼天天扣錢），要嘛兩者都來。

I wanted something that: 我想做一個：

• Worked entirely on my phone. No server, no account, no analytics. 完全在手機上跑：沒伺服器、沒帳號、沒分析追蹤。
• Cost what it's worth, once. A photo cleaner shouldn't bill you every month for the rest of your life. 一次付清就好：清相片這件事不該每個月扣錢。
• Felt fast and obvious. Swipe right, swipe left. Done. 快、直覺：右滑保留，左滑刪除。完。

So I built SwipeClean26. 於是有了 SwipeClean26。

Why on-device matters 為什麼「裝置端」很重要

Apple's Photos framework gives apps direct access to your library on the device. Combined with on-device computer vision (the same Vision framework Apple uses for Live Text and visual search), SwipeClean26 can: Apple 的 Photos framework 讓 app 直接讀取手機上的相簿。配合 Apple 的 Vision 框架（就是 iPhone 拿來做 Live Text、視覺搜尋的同一套），SwipeClean26 可以：

• Compare every photo and video locally 在裝置端比對每一張相片和影片
• Group near-duplicates and burst sets without sending them anywhere 自動分組相似照與連拍，不傳出任何一張
• Show you previews without downloading the full file from iCloud unless you ask 預覽 iCloud 上的相片不需要先下載完整檔案

Your photos never leave your device. There's no SwipeClean26 server. There's no account. There's no analytics SDK reporting back what you swiped. The privacy story is simple because there's nothing to report. 你的相片從頭到尾沒離開過你的裝置。沒有 SwipeClean26 伺服器、沒有帳號、沒有 analytics SDK 回報你滑了什麼。隱私故事之所以簡單，是因為根本沒有東西需要回報。

That's not just marketing — it's why the app is so small (under 3 MB) and why it doesn't ask for anything beyond Photos permission. 這不只是行銷話術——這是為什麼這個 app 才不到 3 MB，也是為什麼它除了「相簿存取權限」之外什麼都不要。

Why a one-time purchase 為什麼一次性付費

Most photo cleaners are subscriptions. That's strange, because cleaning up your library isn't a service you keep consuming — it's a job you do, occasionally, when storage gets tight. 市面上多數相片清理 App 都是訂閱制。但清相簿不是你會持續消費的服務——而是儲存空間滿時偶爾要做的一件事。

SwipeClean26 is $0.99, paid once. After that, it's yours. New features ship via free updates. You don't keep paying for a tool you've already finished using. SwipeClean26 是 0.99 美元，付一次。付完就是你的。新功能透過免費更新提供。你不需要為一個你已經用完的工具持續付錢。

This is also why there's no "free trial that nags you" or "premium tier with the actual feature locked behind a paywall". The whole app is the app. 這也是為什麼 SwipeClean26 沒有「免費試用但會煩你」或「進階版功能鎖在付費牆後」這種東西。整個 app 就是整個 app。

What's apptah? apptah 是什麼？

apptah is the name I publish indie iOS apps under. SwipeClean26 is the first; more will follow. If you'd like to know what I'm working on, the parent site is at apptah.com. (Coming soon — pre-launch) apptah 是我發佈獨立 iOS app 用的品牌名。SwipeClean26 是第一個，之後還會有更多。想看我在做什麼，去 apptah.com。（即將上線）
