File Sorter: Swipe to Delete · for iPhone

The fastest way to clean up the files on your iPhone.

Point FileSort at any folder and start swiping. Left deletes, right keeps — and every card shows you exactly what the file is before you decide. Ten minutes of swiping can free gigabytes.

Download on the App Store Free to use. iOS 17 or later.

Two gestures. That’s the whole app.

Every file becomes a card: a live thumbnail, its name, its size, and when you last opened it. Tap to preview it full screen. Then decide.

Swipe left to delete

Deleted files move to FileSort’s own Recently Deleted, where they wait 30 days before being purged. A slip of the thumb never costs you anything — restore with one tap, any time in those 30 days.

Swipe right to keep

Kept files rest for six months before they show up in a deck again, so you never re-review something you just decided to hold on to. Want a fresh pass? Flip on “Review everything again” in Settings.

Changed your mind mid-deck? Tap the undo pill after any swipe, step back through your session history — or just shake your iPhone.

One deck. Every kind of clutter.

Start with the files you can see. Upgrade to Plus when you’re ready to take the same swipe to your photo library and music collection.

Free

Files

Browse the folders you choose — iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, Downloads — drill in as deep as you like, and swipe that folder clean. Decks are dealt least-recently-opened first, with a one-tap switch to biggest-first when you’re hunting for space.

FileSort only ever sees the folders you grant it, and you can revoke access whenever you want.

Plus

Photo mode

Photos are where the gigabytes hide. FileSort groups your library into recommended days, quiet months, screenshots, and albums, then deals them out one at a time.

Deletions are batched at the end of your session behind a single confirmation, and removed photos sit in the system Recently Deleted album for 30 days — the same safety net Photos gives you.

Plus

Music mode

Surface the songs you never play — sorted by play count and how long it’s been since you last pressed play, with downloaded tracks badged and dealt first.

One honest caveat: iOS doesn’t let any app delete songs or their downloads directly. So FileSort collects your delete-swipes into a “FileSort Cleanup” playlist and walks you through removing them in Music, step by step.

Free

Stats that fill a drawer

Lifetime counters for files deleted and storage freed, plus milestone cards — 1 GB freed, 500 files sorted — drawn as a filing-cabinet drawer that fills as you go.

Every session ends with a summary card: files reviewed, files deleted, storage freed. Milestones are shareable, if you’re the type to brag about an empty Downloads folder. We respect that.

Plus, priced plainly.

Basic is genuinely free and genuinely useful. Plus unlocks Photo mode, Music mode, and removes ads — pay weekly, or once and never again.
