unclutr photos changelog
Latest product updates grouped by release month.
February 2026
Day-by-Day Cleanup
Pick any date from a calendar and review all photos from that specific day. You no longer need to scan your entire library or deal with massive multi-year groups. Cleaned days are clearly marked, days without photos are automatically disabled, and cleanup can happen in small focused sessions.
Photo cleanup should feel like decluttering a room, not running a script.
Same Date, All Years
Instantly see everything taken on the same date across all years, like all your March 12ths, Christmas mornings, or birthdays. Results are grouped visually by year for fast review.
Especially powerful for long iCloud libraries.
