Pick photos and videos, then hand over your phone. The other person can only swipe through your set. The rest of your library stays locked.

You want to show your friends the photos from last night's party. Your phone gets passed around, and you quietly hope nobody swipes too far. Showing photos should feel good. Not like a brief loss of control the moment your phone is in someone else's hands.
SwipeSet is an app for iPhone and iPad that lets you show selected photos and videos without exposing the rest of your library. You build a set and hand over your device without a second thought. The other person can only swipe through that set. Only you can end it, with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode. Photos stay on your device, with no account and no subscription.
Tap the photos and videos you want to show. Drag and drop to change the order.
Your set plays full screen. The other person can only swipe through what you picked.
Touch and hold the X to end the set. SwipeSet then asks for Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode.
When you end a set, you can save it and show it again later.
Vacation, dog, renovation: name your set and start it again anytime.
Videos start muted or with sound, your choice. And yes, you can scrub.
Select in the Photos app, tap Share → SwipeSet. Your set is ready.
One line per photo or video shows how much is left. At the end, the set stops or starts over.
Photos look even better on the big screen. Perfect for passing around.
Follows your system setting. Or pick your own.
On iPad every photo gets the whole stage. Great for family gatherings, client meetings or a night on the couch.
Guided Access is built into iOS and keeps the iPhone inside a single app. It doesn't control which photos can be seen in that app. The two work well together.
No. Only the photos and videos in your set can be reached. Only you can end the set, with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode.
Only iOS can prevent that. With Guided Access, your iPhone stays in SwipeSet until you end it with your passcode. SwipeSet shows you how to set it up in its settings.
No. Your photos and videos never leave your device. SwipeSet has no accounts and no cloud storage.
Pick the photos in SwipeSet, start the set and hand over your iPhone. The other person only sees that set. For extra safety, also turn on Guided Access in iOS.
Downloading and using it is free: a set can hold up to 4 photos or videos, and you can save up to 2 sets. Pro removes both limits and unlocks alternate app icons. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
On iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 and later.
SwipeSet is available in 17 languages: German, English, Danish, Spanish, French, Italian, Hungarian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Romanian, Finnish, Swedish, Russian, Japanese and Korean. The app automatically follows the language of your iPhone or iPad. You can also pick a different language for SwipeSet in iOS Settings.
Not yet. An Android version is planned.
Build your set and hand over your device without a second thought.
