A timeline of your gallery: every year, month and day

Overview

The timeline starts at the top: each year with how many photos it holds and how much space they take, then the months inside it, then the days. Numbers sit next to names, so you can see at a glance that one summer takes more space than the rest of the year, or that a single day holds the whole wedding. A Favourites filter narrows every view to the photos you have marked, and tapping a photo opens it full screen, where you swipe between neighbours and pinch to zoom.

From any photo, Add to My files copies it into iEdit's library, and Delete removes it through your system's confirmation, so it goes to Recently Deleted on iPhone and iPad for 30 days or to the trash on Android 11 and later. The timeline reads your library on the device; nothing is uploaded and no index is built anywhere else. It works with full library access or with a selection of photos, and the counts and sizes reflect whatever you have allowed iEdit to see.

Use it to find the photos from a particular trip when you remember the month but not the album, to see which years are the heaviest before clearing space, or simply to browse your own history. Paired with Storage insight and Find duplicates it makes a tidy-up routine: locate the busy months, pick out what to keep, add it to My files and let the rest go. The timeline is free, like every gallery tool in iEdit.
