Compared with the built-in way
A more controllable alternative to iPhone Photo Shuffle
iPhone's built-in Photo Shuffle is handy — free, no app needed. MiraFolio covers what it can't: no repeats, swipe away what you don't like, keep private photos separate.
Coming soon to the App Store| iPhone built-inPhoto Shuffle / DIY Shortcuts | Photo wallpaper companion | |
|---|---|---|
| Does it keep repeating? | Yes. With a big library it cycles the same dozen or so; the rest never show up | No. One full round before reshuffling — every photo appears |
| How it rotates | Random only, with a few fixed frequencies | Random or in order; portrait-only filtering, and you can go back one |
| See one you don't like | Back to Settings to re-edit and re-pick photos | One swipe and it's gone; restore anytime |
| Where photos come from | System categories, one album, or a manual pick | Albums or in-app folders; combine by tags, like “Travel” + “Sunset” |
| Private photos | Must live in your camera roll, mixed with everything | Kept inside the app behind Face ID — invisible to anyone borrowing your phone |
| Images on your computer | Transfer them to your phone one by one, somehow | Open a URL in your desktop browser and drag them in by the batch; AI can auto-tag them |
| Automatic scheduled changes | The few fixed frequencies, or DIY Shortcuts that break easily | Ready-made Shortcut installed in one tap — hourly, arriving home, while charging |
| Price | Free (built into iOS) | Download and rotation are free; private album and other extras need Pro |
