Ever felt uneasy handing someone your phone to show a few vacation photos? SwipeSet is an app for iPhone and iPad that lets you show selected photos and videos without exposing the rest of your camera roll. Pick what you want to show, 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. Save sets for next time. Photos stay on your device. No account, no subscription.
