Original: "Swipe Cleaner: A Technical Deep Dive into On-Device Photo Privacy"

Short summary

Swipe Cleaner is an iOS photo cleaning app built on on-device processing using Apple's Core ML and Vision frameworks—no pixels leave your phone. The architecture prioritizes privacy over cloud-based model accuracy, using a Tinder-style swipe interface to reduce decision fatigue. The approach aligns with Apple's platform direction and accepts tradeoffs like no cross-device sync, model size constraints, and thermal limits.

  • On-device processing only—no cloud uploads, all analysis uses Apple Core ML and Vision frameworks
  • Privacy-first UX design with swipe-based decisions reduces friction compared to traditional grid/checkbox interfaces
  • Accepts architectural tradeoffs (model size, no sync) to align with iOS privacy model and platform direction

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
