Start a cleanup review
On Today, tap Start a short review. If Photos access is not active, tap Allow Photos access and grant the access needed for the media you want to review.
Keep an item or queue it for later. Open Queue, tap Review & Delete, and confirm the change in Komaa and again in Apple's Photos confirmation. Queueing or swiping does not delete an item by itself.
Manage the cleanup queue
Choose All, Photos, or Videos to filter the queue, then use Sort for queue order, estimated size, or date. Protect Favorites starts on: favorites remain visible but are excluded from the delete count. Review & Delete applies only to eligible items in the current filter.
Undo restores the most recent queue removal or clear while the app remains open. This restores queue entries only, not media deleted from Photos. An unavailable entry may be hidden by selected Photos access rather than deleted; remove that entry only if you no longer want it queued.
Use the Capture Desk
- Tap Take a photo to capture a visual reference with the camera. Camera access is requested only after you tap the action.
- Tap Choose from Photos to select one reference with Apple's photo picker.
- Tap Record a voice note to request microphone access, record a spoken reminder, play it back, or delete it.
If camera or microphone access was declined, enable it in iOS Settings and try the action again. A device without a camera cannot capture a photo; Choose from Photos remains available.
Photos access
Komaa can work with limited Photos access. Use Manage on the access card to change the selected items, or use Open Settings when access has been denied. The app reads media on the device and asks for a separate Apple confirmation before deleting items from Photos.
Smart Match and Video Lab
Smart Match compares recent photos on the device. Video Lab creates a smaller copy only after export succeeds, and the original remains in place. If a scan or export fails, try the action again after returning to the affected screen.
