i know i've been quiet since the new year but now i'm back! i have so many ideas for the future of Shutter Declutter. my goal is to go beyond deleting unwanted photos, and make the app perfect for getting your camera roll organized and sharing amazing memories β—‘Μˆ

ok that explains a lot. after i launched my app there have been like 50 copycats and im so confused because they literally all look the same…

turns out ai is just feeding people ideas to vibecode πŸ˜’

fixing a bug today in shutter declutter i’m ashamed to have made in the first place

EVERY app should do this tbh

why are we trying to normalize this?

friendly reminder: my apps are NOT vibe coded.

i've been building apps since 2013 and have a genuine passion for building things the "old fashioned" way

if you enjoy all the ai stuff then you do you, but that's just not me

being an indie dev is hard. I got some negative feedback on one of my apps today and it put me in a bit of a mood…

but just now I got a nice email from a customer saying how much they like my app and it kinda makes it all worth it :)

i’ll admit, I built Shutter Declutter because I thought I could handle it all at once, but
1) I got overwhelmed
2) I kept putting it off
3) I never actually did it, and then I ran out of space at the worst possible time

so doing it all at once is much easier said than done imo

panicked when they preferred a β€œtry to declutter everything all at once” method over my app’s β€œmake a habit to clean up your camera roll as you go” approach. i considered how to make my app more viticci-friendly, but then I reminded myself everyone has different decluttering methods and that’s okay!

there’s no better feeling than a customer requesting a feature you’ve just released

How I ended up with 111,582 iPhone photos, and what I’m doing about it - Fast Company I’ve kept so many terrible images that it’s hard to find the wonderful ones. An app, and a few new habits, are helping.

my app was featured in fast company and it perfectly describes why I built it

be like harry! tackle that photo library!

OK, not even getting into the ethics or the existential issues around AI: Have some goddamn self-respect. If you're a writer and you do this I don't know how you look at yourself, but I know exactly how I look at you.

seeing a lot of posts of non-dev, non-power users using iOS 26 and completely hating it

personally i wouldn't say i hate it, but yeah it's a rough release for sure

not everyone knows how to navigate to settings to reduce transparency. i expect a ton of very confused users in the future 😞

missed it by ONE DAY but Shutter Declutter is now iOS 26 optimized!

this might be a πŸ”₯ take, but i didn’t want to put liquid glass all over the UI. i went with a more subtle approach. it feels much more accessible (and legible) this way
