Photo
Time Machine.
Your photo library shouldn't become a storage unit you never visit. Photo Time Machine helps organize Apple Photos, protect originals in Dropbox, review cleanup safely, and actually find the pictures you forgot you had.
Archive first.
Delete only on purpose.
Dropbox acts as the long-term archive. Apple Photos can stay the active, recent library. PTM keeps the workflow understandable between them.
Apple Photos, Dropbox, and selected folders remain under your control.
Tackle the backlog or process newer photos without staring down the whole mountain.
Add to Apple albums, or create and verify a permanent Dropbox archive copy.
Review duplicates, screenshots, and verified Apple Photos copies before anything destructive.
A photo librarian,
not a bulldozer.
PTM is designed to help you make decisions, not quietly make irreversible ones for you.
Unified Library
Browse cataloged photos and videos across the sources PTM knows about.
Search & Rediscover
Use dates, places, metadata, and visual analysis to surface forgotten groups and moments.
Verified Dropbox Archive
Archive selected Apple Photos originals and verify the external copy before treating them as protected.
Archived & Verified
See what is safely protected and decide which Apple Photos copies should stay or go.
Duplicate Review
Compare candidate pairs while both copies are in front of you. PTM suggests; you decide.
Guided Tasks
Follow common goals one step at a time instead of learning the whole app at once.
Archive → verify → catalog → review → delete. If the archive check fails, cleanup stops. The originals get the benefit of the doubt.
