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 groups of similar photos with Curator Picks, duplicates & near-identical bursts, stray screenshots and oversized videos. On-device AI does the first pass; you tap to review and reclaim gigabytes.
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.
Can I turn my photos into a photo book?
Yes. Once you've built an album, Curator can send it to a specialist print service that lays out a photo book for you — so your best shots become something you can hold, not just another folder on your phone.
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.
