Hi Product Hunt 👋
I'm Simon, a UX and web dev based in France. 25 years of ASP, PHP, Python, HTML CSS JavaScript. At 50 I thought Swift was a bridge too far.
The idea had been sitting in my head for years: a Tinder-style interface for your photo library. Simple concept, enormous gap between that and a working app.
The path was Cursor, then ChatGPT, then Claude (and Claude Code for a final review). What surprised me was that I actually started to understand it all.
Photo Declutter is designed as a small daily ritual, not a productivity tool. Calm sessions, one photo at a time, nothing deleted without review. No account, no tracking.
I grew up with shareware (Atari ST, PC) and free software (Linux). That philosophy stuck. The app is free to use forever. There are two small in-app purchases, a tip jar and a session unlock, purely as a way to say thanks if it brings you value. No subscription, no paywall, no pressure.
Happy to answer anything about the build, the AI-assisted process, or the philosophy behind it.
