Help · Blurry
The Blurry screen scores how sharp every photo in a folder is and shows you the softest ones largest-first. It proposes; you decide. Nothing is ever removed without you marking it, and what you do send away goes to the Trash, where it stays recoverable.
Scanning writes nothing. It reads each photo, scores its sharpness and builds a list.
Every result starts marked KEEP; nothing is selected for removal on your behalf.
The one action is Move to Trash — the system Trash, not a delete. The batch can be put back from the screen, and until you empty the Trash the files are recoverable by hand too.
Folder to scanFree
The folder to score. Until one is chosen the button explains itself — Choose a folder first.
Include subfoldersFree
Off by default. Turn it on for a whole shoot or a whole year; leave it off when you want to judge one folder at a time, which is the easier way to build trust in the scoring.
Find Blurry PhotosFree
Scores every photo's sharpness and fills the results. Read-only, and interruptible with
Cancel — a long scan is never something you are committed to finishing.
Stricter ↔ More aggressiveFree
Where the line falls between soft and acceptable. Stricter returns only the clearly unusable. More aggressive catches more, and will begin to include shallow depth of field and deliberate motion — which is a judgement about your photography, not a mistake in the scoring.
It re-filters what has already been scanned, so moving it costs nothing and does not re-read the folder. If the result is No blurry photos at this sensitivity, that is a real answer, not a failure.
KEEP / TRASHFree
Every photo carries one of two marks and starts on KEEP. The tooltips state both
directions — Kept — click to mark for Trash and Marked for Trash — click to keep — so
the mark can always be read off the photo without remembering what a colour means.
View largerFree
Opens the photo big enough to judge. Blur is not a decision anyone can make from a thumbnail, which is why the large view is one click and not buried.
Select AllFree
Marks everything currently listed. Best used after you have narrowed the sensitivity to a setting whose results you have actually looked through.
SPACE TO FREEFree
How much disk the currently marked photos would give back. It is the honest reason most people are on this screen, so it is shown before the action rather than after it.
Show this folder in FinderFree
Opens the photo's real location on disk — useful for confirming that the file you are about to trash is the copy you think it is.
Move to TrashFree
Sends the marked photos to the system Trash. If nothing is marked the button says why — Select blurry photos to remove first — rather than doing nothing silently.
Restore the last batch from TrashFree
Puts the last batch back where it came from. When there is nothing to restore the button reads Nothing to undo.
Free allowanceFree
Scanning, reviewing and comparing at any sensitivity are free and uncapped — the judgement is the part that matters, and it is not gated. The Free tier limits how many photos you can move to Trash.
FAQ
No, and it cannot. The scan produces a review list with everything marked KEEP until you change it. The only removal is Move to Trash, which you press yourself, and which sends files to the system Trash rather than deleting them.
The sharpness score at which a photo is considered soft. Moving it towards More aggressive catches more photos and will start including deliberate shallow depth of field; moving it towards Stricter keeps only the clearly unusable. It re-filters results already scanned, so trying a different setting is instant.
It can — a portrait with a soft background or an intentional motion shot scores low on sharpness like any other. That is exactly why the screen is a review list with a large preview and a per-photo keep toggle rather than an automatic cleanup.
Yes. Restore the last batch from Trash puts it back, and because the files went to the system Trash rather than being deleted, they are also recoverable from there by hand at any time before you empty it.
