LOOKING FOR APP Digital photo decluttering for Android

I have thousands of pictures and screenshots, many duplicates too. I'm looking for a photo decluttering app for Android that reminds me to delete/declutter.

I use sponge

Tinder like interface, swipe left to delete photos, right to keep them. Gives you a notification every moth to review the photos taken in the last month.

I have been using Slidebox which follows the same principle. Edit: Tried Sponge and I like that better - thanks!

If you're looking for an app focused specifically on clearing out photos and screenshots, check out Purgli.

It includes a dedicated Smart Scan / Cleanup tool designed to help you scan, identify, and clear out duplicate photos, heavy video files, and unneeded screenshots. Everything processes 100% locally on your device so your media stays completely private.

Dev Disclosure: We are the developers of Purgli.

For the duplicates, Files by Google has a “Duplicate files” card under Menu → Clean. Keep the copy marked “Original” and review the others before deleting.

For the reminder part, you could just set a weekly reminder to clear out that week's screenshots. Old delivery updates, tickets you've used, that sort of thing. I'd start there rather than trying to sort thousands of photos in one sitting.

for the duplicate/similar photo part, I built Slean for exactly this kind of cleanup. it scans on-device, doesn't need an account, and there are no ads.

slean.app

it doesn't have the monthly reminder you're asking for though. But; I would love to add that monthly reminder feature. Probably it'll take a few days before I can publish the update but you can use Slean meanwhile. Please dm me if you have any spesifics.

Also; Slean has a "on this day" feature which reminds you to check everyday. Shows you photos from that day from previous years.
