Rewind
Rediscover a memory. Make a little space.
An on-device iOS app that turns photo cleanup into short sessions of rediscovery. I designed and built Rewind around finite decks, reversible decisions, and personal memories. Second place at Reverie Hacks 2026.

One deck. One chapter.
Each deck contains 20–30 photos, screenshots, or videos. Age-weighted sampling brings older memories back into view. Four swipe directions let people keep, skip, stage for deletion, or defer an item to a Later Stack.
Fast gestures. Deliberate decisions.
Directional locking makes swipes predictable. Deletions stay in a reviewable staging bin until the session ends. Deferred items return after a seven-day pause, giving uncertain decisions room to settle.
Private by design.
SwiftData stores the local decision history, while PhotoKit handles media access. Display-sized thumbnails and limited prefetching keep the deck responsive. Photos remain on the device, with no account or upload pipeline.
