SpectraSortAI photo organizer

The photo organizer that finishes the job.

Organizing a camera roll is really two jobs. One is grouping what belongs together. The other is deciding what deserves to stay. Most organizer apps stop after the first job; SpectraSort does both, on the phone.

Job 1 — grouping

Scenes gather themselves.

Scenes collects your trips, themes and series automatically. There are no albums to create, no tags to apply, nothing to drag. The structure is there when you open Discover.

A Timeline drills from year to month to day, so a library of tens of thousands is never faced all at once. Any slice can be sorted on its own.

Discover — Scenes, auto-gathered collections of trips, themes and series
Job 2 — deciding

From a pile to an album, ranked.

Grouping alone leaves you with tidy piles of undecided photos. So any Scene, time range or search result can be sorted, by quality, by your learned taste, or by what you asked for, then reviewed with swipes.

Batch Process finishes the slice in one screen. Picks go into a real album that also shows up in Apple Photos, favorites get starred, and anything you clear goes through the system dialog.

A ranked review grid — the deciding half of organizing

It gets more yours over time

Every keep and reject during review shapes a taste profile, built and stored on the device. Give it enough reviews and sorting by Your Taste starts producing the album you would have curated by hand. How the picking works →

Scenes, the index, the scores and the profile are all computed on the iPhone's Neural Engine. Organizing your library uploads nothing and requires no account.

Where it won't help
  • It organizes your photo library only. It doesn't touch files, documents or anything else on the phone.
  • iPhone only, iOS 18.5 or later. No iPad, Android or desktop version.
  • The first index of a big library takes a while. It only happens once.
  • Deleted photos spend 30 days in iOS's Recently Deleted album, so the storage comes back later, not right away. SpectraSort doesn't show a “GB freed” number because it would be a guess.

FAQ

Organizing questions.

What's the best way to organize thousands of iPhone photos?
Work in slices instead of facing the whole library: a trip, a month, a theme. Finish each slice by picking the keepers, filing them to an album, and clearing the rest. SpectraSort automates the slicing with Scenes and the Timeline, and the ranking cuts each slice down to minutes.
Does it create real albums?
Yes. Batch Process saves your picks to normal photo albums, which show up in Apple Photos like any other album.
Does it replace Apple Photos?
No, it works on top of the same library. Apple Photos stays your browser and storage; SpectraSort is the layer that organizes and picks. The full comparison →
Does organizing upload my photos anywhere?
No. Scenes, the index, the scores and the taste profile are all computed and stored on your iPhone. No uploads, no account.
