Description
Flic invented swipe-to-clean in 2014, and launched #1 on Product Hunt. Now it's rebuilt from scratch with on-device AI: swipe to keep, delete, favorite or share, while AI finds duplicates, blurry shots and your daily Best 25. Your photos never leave your iPhone. The OG, category creator back with a product that is 10x and priced for mass adoption.

Could you build this?
Partial While the swipe UI is easy to vibe code, building high-performance on-device image clustering, blur detection, and perceptual duplicate detection across tens of thousands of local photos without battery or memory crashes requires native iOS optimization.
What it would actually take: A production version requires native Swift/SwiftUI using Apple's Vision framework, CoreML, and PhotoKit. The difficult components include local background processing that efficiently computes image embeddings and perceptual hashes across tens of thousands of high-res photos without exhausting iOS memory limits, plus an on-device personal preference ranking algorithm. Skilled native iOS engineers experienced with CoreML model execution and PhotoKit asset caching are necessary.
