How it works

Three tabs. One tidy library.

Curator splits the work into three calm, deliberate steps — clean out the clutter, build the albums, then keep the ones worth printing.

01 — CLEAN

Clean

Surface duplicates, near-identical bursts, stray screenshots and oversized videos. On-device AI does the sorting; you toggle what to remove and reclaim gigabytes in a tap.

02 — CREATE

Create

Albums build themselves — auto-grouped by trip, place and moment. Months of camera roll arrive pre-sorted into "France, Jul–Aug" and "Autumn 2025," ready to name and keep.

03 — CURATE

Curate

Review your best frames side by side, pick the keepers, and turn the standouts into albums worth opening — or printing. The memories that matter, easy to find again.

Why Curator

Built like a tool you can trust.

No cloud, no account, no monthly bill. Just a focused app that respects your photos and your privacy.

On-device AI

A CLIP neural network and perceptual hashing run entirely on your iPhone. No servers, no uploads — there's nothing to leak.

One-time purchase

Pay once, own it forever. No subscription, no recurring charge — and a free tier so you can try it on your last 30 days of photos.

Works with iCloud Photos

Curator reads your library through Apple's PhotoKit. If iCloud Photo Library is on, it fits right in — no separate import or export.

Privacy-first

No analytics, no tracking, no account. We never see, store, share, or train on your photos. Full stop.

A closer look

Curation, beautifully simple.

From a first scan to finished albums — every screen stays calm, editorial and out of your way.

Questions

Good to know.

Is there a subscription?

No. Curator is a one-time purchase ($5.99) — a permanent, non-consumable unlock with no recurring charge. The free tier covers your last 30 days of photos so you can try it first.

Does the AI send my photos anywhere?

Never. All analysis — duplicate detection, similarity, album grouping — runs on-device using a CLIP neural network and perceptual hashing. We don't operate servers, so there's nowhere for your photos to go.

Will it delete my photos without asking?

No. You confirm every removal. Deletions move to your iPhone's "Recently Deleted" folder, where they're recoverable for 30 days before iOS clears them.
