The topic Indie App Spotlight: \u2018This Day\u2019 turns photo cleanup into a simple daily habit<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Welcome to\u00a0Indie App Spotlight. This is a weekly 9to5Mac series where we showcase the latest apps in the indie app world. If you\u2019re a developer and would like your app featured, get\u00a0in contact.<\/p>\n

Everyone probably has a massive photo library going back for years, maybe even over a decade. Over time, that consumes more and more storage \u2013 and this becomes a problem, especially if you\u2019re paying for iCloud storage. On the other hand, decluttering isn\u2019t easy.<\/p>\n

This Day turns photo decluttering into a habit, by designing an interface that allows you to address it one day at a time.<\/p>\n

Instead of showing you tens of thousands of photos at once, This Day takes a more focused approach \u2013 and only shows you photos you took on todays date, but years in the past. So, instead of needing to take a wholistic approach to decluttering your photo library, you only need to think about todays date for previous years. Then, as time goes on, and if you keep checking in on the app \u2013 you\u2019ll make progress.<\/p>\n

Sure, it isn\u2019t a one and done solution \u2013 but I love this approach since it takes the mental burden out of it, and it becomes just a few minute process every day.<\/p>\n

This Day will show you all of your photos taken on this day in previous years for easy deletion, but it also has Live Photo compression (ie, turning your live photos into a single frame for lower file size) and duplication detection \u2013 giving you more ways than one to help save your precious storage.<\/p>\n

You can also set up daily reminders and maintain a streak to keep yourself motivated. Overall, I find it to be an intuitive way of managing old photos without feeling overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

This Day is available for free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad users running iOS 26 and later. For unlimited access, you can check out the Premium subscription for $3.99\/mo or $29.99\/year.<\/p>\n
