**Why I built it** My camera roll is years of accumulated photos that I have organized exactly zero of. Every "clean up your photos" tool I tried asked me to first do the one thing I could not do: sit down and face the entire backlog. So I inverted it. Memory Gacha never shows your library as a queue. Each round it draws 12 photos at random from everywhere in your album - a sky from 2011, last weekend, a trip you had forgotten - and hands them over one card at a time. The gestures, using the labels you'll see in the app: - Swipe left to keep - Swipe up and release to mark for deletion - Swipe right to undo a keep - Swipe down to see That Moment: the photos taken around this one One deliberate design decision: it never tells you how many photos are waiting in total. The progress ring only answers "how far through this batch of 12 am I." I did that on purpose. Backlog counts are what make people quit before starting; a bounded 12-card round is what makes them start, and then start another. You can stop after one round with nothing left half-finished. A few things worth knowing if you try it: - Nothing is uploaded. No server, no account, no analytics in the binary - it only reads your system photo library. (iCloud-optimized photos still download through iOS, so it isn't airplane-mode-only; it just never sends anything out.) - Deleting is real. It goes through the iOS system confirmation, so photos land in Recently Deleted like any other delete. Undo covers your last keep, not a delete - I didn't want to promise a delete-undo I can't honestly build. - The heart button sets the actual favorite flag on the photo in your system library, so it shows up in Apple Photos too instead of being a private list inside my app. - Reduce Motion is fully honored: the fly-outs, card motion and screen transitions are skipped rather than played. - English and Simplified Chinese are both written natively, not machine-translated. How it's free: the free tier is 120 photos of review, plus 10 Place Memories and 10 That Moment lookups. Pro is a one-time lifetime purchase - no subscription was a hard rule from the first version. Feedback I actually want: is 12 photos per round too short, or is hiding the total backlog annoying rather than helpful? That's the one design bet I'd most like to be wrong or right about.
