Serotonin Swipe

Clean up your iPhone photo library one swipe at a time: left to delete, right to keep, in short sessions built for ADHD minds. Swipe away your mountain of photo junk. Your photos are sorted on your phone, and the app never uploads them.

Drop a pin and see the places around it, closest first. Coming to the web first, then iPhone and Android.

Who we are

Directive Labs, LLC is a small North Carolina software company, co-founded and co-owned by a woman.

Made by a team with ADHD and autistic members, for minds like ours.

Both co-founders shape every app together, from the first idea to the last test.

What we stand for

  1. Tell people the truth. What we say about our apps matches what they actually do, including what they collect.

  2. Your data stays yours. We collect only what an app needs to work, we never sell it, and leaving is easy.

  3. Safe to use, safe to remove. Nothing destructive happens without your clear OK, and removing our software never changes your real equipment.

  4. Built for how real brains work. Clear, calm, one decision at a time, made with ADHD minds in mind.

  5. Real people test it first. Every app is tested on real devices by our team and an independent tester before it reaches you.

  6. Easy on the mind. Busy minds need simple interfaces: one job per screen, big clear buttons, plain words and calm colors, in everything we make.
