File cleaner for Windows · 7-day free trial
Clear the clutter, one swipe at a time.
Open any folder and SwipeSort shows you each file as a card with a big preview. Swipe right to keep it, left to delete it, up to decide later. That Downloads folder you’ve been avoiding? Done in ten minutes.
Free for 7 days, then one payment. No subscription. Your files never leave your PC.
How it works
Three steps. No learning curve.
If you’ve ever swiped through a dating app or a photo gallery, you already know how to use SwipeSort.
Open a folder
Pick Downloads, Desktop, Pictures or any folder on your PC. SwipeSort looks inside its subfolders too, and skips system and hidden folders for you.
Swipe through it
Each file comes up as a card with a large preview, its size and its date.
See what you cleared
Review anything you skipped, then get a summary of what you kept and deleted. Deleted files are in the Windows Recycle Bin if you change your mind.
Screenshots
See every file before you decide.
Features
Small app. Big clear-out.
Previews for everything common

Swipe, drag or click
Use the mouse, touchscreen or the big buttons. Whatever’s fastest for you.
Built-in Recycle Bin view

- Undo your last keep or skip with one click.
- Windows stays untouched. System and program folders never show up.

Questions
Good to know.
Where do deleted files go?
To the normal Windows Recycle Bin, exactly as if you’d deleted them in File Explorer. You can restore them from there until you empty it.
Does SwipeSort upload my files anywhere?
No. Everything happens on your PC. There’s no account, no analytics and no cloud. The only thing that ever touches the internet is the optional demo mode, which loads a few sample photos.
What kinds of files can it preview?
Photos (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP and more), videos, audio, PDFs and text or code files show a full preview. Other files still appear as a card with their name, size and date, so you can decide on them too.
Can it break Windows?
SwipeSort skips system, program and hidden folders, so the files Windows needs never come up. It only shows the files inside the folder you choose.
What happens when the trial ends?
SwipeSort will ask you to buy it from the Microsoft Store before you can carry on sorting. Your files aren’t touched either way, and anything in the Recycle Bin stays there.
Is there a Mac or Android version?
Not yet. SwipeSort is Windows only for now. Email me if you’d like to hear when that changes.
