What's due to be copied, and what the folder already holds.

Pick a folder once. Every night Glitter finds the favorites that have stayed hearted for 90 days and copies their original files into it, filed by year and date. Photos is never changed. Hearting an old photo saves it on the next run.

The folder is just files. Live Photos, RAW+JPEG pairs and edited originals all come across whole.

Once everything is copied there's nothing to do.

Glitter is the other half of Gather: Gather clears the photos you didn't heart from your iPhone, and Glitter keeps the ones you did. Each works on its own.
