Minutes 0–8: process screenshots and downloads

Move receipts, tasks, travel details, and work records to their proper destinations. Delete expired codes, accidental captures, repeated memes, and temporary references only after verifying the saved information.

Minutes 8–15: inspect videos and Live Photos

Review screen recordings and long videos, then check likely large items with Photos Info. Export meaningful clips and play the copy. Keep Live Photos when motion or audio adds value.

Minutes 15–25: review the month’s camera roll

Compare repeated scenes, remove obvious blur and accidents, and mark the strongest memories as Favorites. Keep uncertain images. A monthly reset should improve trust, not force the library toward an arbitrary number.

Minutes 25–30: check the deletion batch

Review every candidate before confirming. Swyper provides a cleanup bin for this final pass. Check Recently Deleted afterward and retain the recovery window unless immediate permanent deletion is truly necessary.

Common questions

What day should I do a monthly photo reset?

Choose a stable trigger such as the first Sunday, payday, or the day after monthly backup. Consistency matters more than the exact date.

What if 30 minutes is not enough?

Stop on time and continue next month or schedule one extra bounded session. Avoid turning the routine into a task you dread.

Should I empty Recently Deleted during every reset?

No. The recovery window is useful. Permanently remove items only after verifying the batch and any backups you need.
