RemindToDeleteMedia
In development
The screenshot graveyard problem. RemindToDeleteMedia schedules review reminders for specific media folders — when the timer fires, you see folder size, file count, and a quick-review UI so cleanup takes minutes, not weekends.
What it does
- Per-folder reminder scheduling
- MediaStore queries for live size + file counts
- Quick-review swipe UI for keep/delete decisions
- AlarmManager-backed reminders survive reboot
- Local config, no account required
Want a heads-up when RemindToDeleteMedia releases?
