Your best photos. Found.
Most photo apps ask “is this a good photo?” SpectraSort asks “would you keep it?” Every time you keep or reject a photo, it learns — and your camera roll comes back ranked, winners first.
It learns what you'd have picked.
Every review teaches it. The app builds a personalized profile around your taste. What it picks starts to look like what you'd have picked yourself.
Pause its learning, reset it, or sharpen it. Save as many profiles as you like.
Your taste profile learns what you pick, then sorts your photos that way.
Six ways in. One tap each.
Search anything — and get it back best-first.
"Roses" works. "Dogs at the beach" works. "Cozy" works. Type a theme, every shot lands in one grid — ranked, not just found.
Pick one photo, find the rest.
Pick one photo and get back others like it, ranked most similar first.
11 shots of the same sunset → one swipe keeps the sharpest.

Face the library one piece at a time.
Scenes gather your trips, themes and series on their own. A Timeline takes you through your days, months and years. How the organizing works →

Best rise to the top. Right to pick, down to keep, left to let go. Use the wheel to compare similar photos.
When you want the controls.

Nothing leaves your phone.
Search, scoring and your taste profile all run on your phone. Your photos are never uploaded anywhere.
Four jobs. One app.
The captures on this page and in the guides are real sorts, not mockups: 1,708 photos ranked against one example, a taste profile built from 1,082 reviews, and a 650-photo cull that ended 4 picked, 484 kept, 162 let go.
1,200 vacation photos → the album worth showing
Point a sort at the trip and review the winners instead of swiping through every take. Duplicates and bursts come pre-stacked, so each moment is one decision.
How photo culling works on iPhone → Find old favoritesThe photo you know exists, but can't find
Describe it in words, or point at a photo like it. Matches come back ranked best-first, including ones buried three years deep.
How to find your best photos → Clear duplicates19 versions of the same shot, one keeper
