Tidy Shelf in GoSwipe

Match the look-alikes. Keep the best.

Tidy Shelf turns clearing similar photos into a short game on your iPhone. Drag photos between shelves, put three look-alikes together, and review each set when the level ends.

How to play

Three moves to a tidy shelf.

  1. 01

    Drag a photo

    Each shelf holds three photos. Drag one to a free spot on another shelf, or tap it and then tap the shelf.

  2. 02

    Match three look-alikes

    When three photos from the same set share a shelf, the shelf clears. Clear the next one within a few seconds for a combo and extra time.

  3. 03

    Review each set

    When the level ends, every matched set appears with its best photo marked Suggested. Tap any photo to keep it, then send the rest to the Bin.

The rules

Short levels, simple rules.

Up to 90 seconds

Each level runs on a clock of up to 90 seconds. Levels with fewer sets get a little less time.

Stars for speed

Stars come from the time left when the last shelf clears: three for a quick finish, and at least one for any finish.

30 more seconds

If time runs out, you can add 30 seconds once and keep going, or review the sets you already matched.

Relaxed shelves

Prefer no clock? Turn on Relaxed shelves in Settings. Levels never run out, and every level you finish still earns three stars.

A few free levels a day

Free accounts get a few levels every day. GoSwipe Pro unlocks unlimited levels.

Nothing is deleted until you say so.

Tidy Shelf never deletes a photo. Photos you let go move to the Bin, and nothing leaves your library until you delete from the Bin and confirm in iOS. Deleted items then wait in Recently Deleted for 30 days. Liked and edited photos stay as keepers unless you change them, and look-alikes are found on your iPhone, so your photos are never uploaded.

Tidy Shelf questions

Is Tidy Shelf free?

Free accounts get a few levels every day. GoSwipe Pro unlocks unlimited levels. Duplicates, the list view of the same look-alikes, is free with or without Pro.

Does Tidy Shelf delete my photos?

No. When a level ends you choose what goes to the Bin. Nothing is deleted until you delete from the Bin, and iOS keeps deleted items in Recently Deleted for 30 days.

How does Tidy Shelf know which photos look alike?

GoSwipe compares your photos on your iPhone and groups shots that look almost the same, such as bursts and retakes. Your photos are never uploaded.

Can I play without a timer?

Yes. Turn on Relaxed shelves in Settings. Levels never run out of time, and every level you finish still earns three stars.
