수요 읽기

두 모델이 독립적으로 평가 (측정 아님, 애널리스트 의견)

의견 갈림
Opus
원함기본 사진앱은 정리·삭제가 번거로워 스와이프 정리앱 리뷰가 수만~수십만 건씩 쌓였다
Codex
미온전용 정리 앱의 리뷰는 설치 수요를 보여주지만, 기본 사진앱과 구글 포토로도 충분해 새 앱 수요는 제한적이다.

Opus와 Codex 두 AI의 읽기입니다. 측정된 수요가 아니라 판단이에요. 둘이 갈리면 그만큼 불확실하다는 뜻입니다.

리뷰가 말하는 불만

경쟁앱 리뷰 90개에서 추출

Aggressive/unskippable ad monetization자주
  • “every few swiped you get a full 30 second unskippable video ad, PLUS after swiping when you finally get to delete photos, there's another unskippable video add”
  • “you have to watch multi-minute long video ads to go through more than 5 photos per day, and then another, even longer video if you want to actually delete the ones you tagged for deletion”
  • “I AM NOT ASKING THAT THE APP BE AD-FREE. I understand the need to implement ads, but this is ridiculous”
제품 기회

Simple swipe-based photo cleaner with minimal or zero ads, one-time purchase, no ad walls between swipe sessions or before deletion.

Daily swipe limits and paywalls on basic function자주
  • “Only lets you go through 25 pictures a day for free”
  • “have fun getting an ad every 5 swipes that's unskippable and a limit of 20 random photos that you cannot use till an 8hr timer is up”
  • “now I have to pay if I want to go back and delete older photos!?”
제품 기회

No artificial daily caps. Unlimited swiping as the core free value; monetize power features (batch tools, album sync, stats) instead.

Photos not actually deleted보통
  • “when I went to check my storage it didn't even budge. I went to my camera roll and noticed nothing was actually deleted”
  • “after i went back to my photos app the deleted ones were still there”
  • “I did all of the swiping for two hours, and maybe ten photos actually got deleted out of my camera role”
제품 기회

Reliability is the moat: make deletion provably work (iOS needs the delete confirmation in Photos), show freed-storage stats that match reality.

Subscription pricing seen as predatory자주
  • “charging me $85 immediately does not count as a 'free trial'”
  • “$10 a week for something this simple is comical”
  • “I did choose to purchase the premium because it's a ONE TIME PURCHASE instead of a subscription, something the market has nearly totally abandoned”
제품 기회

One-time unlock or fair lifetime price. Reviewers explicitly reward one-time purchase and punish weekly subs.

Data loss and reliability bugs보통
  • “Twice now this app glitched (blinked when I was using it) and all my sorted images went back to unsorted. Lost hours of work”
  • “when I go to delete anything more than 100 items in my delete box, the whole app freezes and closes”
  • “the app completely lost all my progress and went back to zero”
제품 기회

Persist sort state locally after every batch, handle 100+ item deletions without crashing, resume sessions.

Privacy concerns about photo uploads가끔
  • “There seems to be no technical reason to provide the photo sorting/deleting features of this app. There are other apps with better privacy policies to choose from”
제품 기회

Fully on-device processing via PhotoKit, no uploads ever, and say so plainly in the listing.

Missing feature requests (re-sort, album sync, video trim, search)보통
  • “I wish I could do is go through things I've already sorted”
  • “album ordering does not sync to iPhone albums ordering”
  • “have a search bar added to the folders section”
  • “video playback controls and a way to trim videos directly in the app”
제품 기회

Post-first-pass re-sorting, alphabetical album sort, folder search, and basic video handling are cheap differentiators.

1인이 만들 수 있나

개발 난이도와 리스크를 분해

규모한 달서버불필요 (온디바이스)
⚠ Big players (Google Photos, Cleanup with ~694k reviews, MWM with two apps) own the top of the keyword⚠ PhotoKit full library write access requires clear justification in App Review⚠ Ad-heavy incumbents have huge review volume; ranking on this keyword is hard without installs

Very buildable for a solo dev. Everything runs on-device with PhotoKit, no backend. The swipe-clean mechanic is well understood; your edge is reliability, no ad abuse, and honest pricing. The hard part is not code, it is getting discovered against apps with millions of reviews.

05

만든다면, 이렇게

1페이지 기획서 (출발점, 정답 아님)

A calm, ad-light photo cleaner that actually deletes your photos, with a one-time unlock.

누구에게

iPhone users with 10k+ photo camera rolls and full iCloud storage who tried swipe cleaners and quit over ads.

어떤 문제

Incumbent swipe cleaners (Swipewipe in particular) alienated loyal users with unskippable video ads, daily swipe caps, ads required to complete deletion, and $10/week subscriptions. Users are actively looking for a replacement and say so in reviews.

MVP 기능
  • ·Interstitial video ads between swipes or before deletion
  • ·Daily swipe limits and cooldown timers
  • ·Weekly subscriptions or surprise-charging trials
  • ·Any server upload of photos; cloud processing
만들지 말 것
    가장 작은 버전

    Swipe-based delete/keep flow with rock-solid PhotoKit deletion, progress persistence, and a stats screen. No ads except an optional rewarded skip. Ship as free with a $9.99 one-time 'supporter' unlock.

    수익 모델

    Free core with no artificial caps. Single one-time purchase ($9.99 to $19.99) removing the small banner and adding batch tools and stats. Reviewers explicitly praise one-time pricing in this niche.

    솔직한 경고

    이 기회의 가장 큰 함정

    The gap is real (users are furious at ads and subscriptions) but incumbents hold the ranking, so a solo clone with no distribution plan will sit invisible behind apps with millions of reviews.
