Alike finds the near-duplicates hiding in your camera roll, groups them, picks the best shot in each group, and helps you clear the rest — without a single photo leaving your device. HOW IT WORKS Scan. Alike compares your library with Apple's Vision framework, entirely on your iPhone. Photos taken close together in time and place are compared, and screenshots stay out of the results unless you ask for them. Review. Every group opens with a Best Shot already selected, so you can decide in seconds. Keep Best Only, Select All Except Best, or pick by hand. Clear. Confirm, and the photos you chose move to Recently Deleted, where iOS keeps them for about 30 days. PRIVACY IS THE WHOLE POINT - All analysis runs on device with Apple's Vision framework. - No photo, thumbnail or feature print is ever uploaded. - No account, no sign-in, no Alike server. - No analytics, no tracking, no advertising identifiers. - No ads anywhere in the app. - Scanning and cleanup need no connection at all — Alike works in Airplane Mode. - Nothing is deleted without your explicit confirmation. BUILT FOR REAL LIBRARIES - Three sensitivity levels, from near-identical shots to a wider net. - Best Shot detection that measures the photos themselves — sharpness, exposure, faces and noise — so every group has a sensible default to keep. - Optional one-tap enhancement for the photo you keep, with the original always one tap away. - Review badges: New, In Review, Reviewed, and Needs Review after a rescan. - Add or delete photos and Alike notices, then resurfaces only the groups that changed — no full rescan to stay current. - Progress, Selected and Estimated Savings while you work. - Cleanup history grouped by month, so you can see what you have already reclaimed. - A roomy one-column layout or a denser grid, switchable any time and remembered. - A searchable guide inside the app, one tap from the Scanner. - Optional cleanup reminders, delivered as local notifications on your own schedule. - Thirteen languages: English, Ukrainian, German, French, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Traditional Chinese and Arabic. Full Dark Mode support. YOU STAY IN CONTROL - Photos you clear go to Recently Deleted, recoverable for about 30 days. - Enhancement is non-destructive: the original stays in your library and one tap restores it. - Alike learns from the Best Shots you pick yourself — on your device, and you can reset it any time in Settings. - Settings, then Data & Privacy, then Delete Alike Data erases every scan result, cleanup record and preference the app has stored — and never touches your photo library. - Grant Full Access or Limited Access; Alike works with whatever you choose to share.

Everything still runs on your device: no account, no uploads, and what you clear goes to Recently Deleted, where iOS keeps it for about 30 days. Feedback and bug reports are genuinely welcome — the support link on the App Store page reaches me directly. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-29 Arabic joins Alike, and the whole app reads right to left. - Every screen, plus the App Store page and the privacy, terms and support pages, is now available in Arabic. - The interface mirrors completely: arrows, badges and toolbars follow the reading direction. - Counts, file sizes and scan dates are consistent across the app now, where one screen could previously show more than one format. Everything still runs on your device: no account, no uploads, and what you clear goes to Recently Deleted, where iOS keeps it for about 30 days. Feedback and bug reports are genuinely welcome — the support link on the App Store page reaches me directly. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-26 Ten more languages, and the whole app speaks them. - German, French, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish and Traditional Chinese join English and Ukrainian: every screen, plus the App Store page and the privacy, terms and support pages. - The photo step in the introduction now ends with a plain Continue, and iOS asks for access in its own words. Fixed: - The sensitivity picker stayed in English whatever language you used. - The Library Status row lost its alignment in Traditional Chinese. - The free reminder line printed a clock time instead of your schedule. - Several buttons and messages said "delete" where Alike actually moves photos to Recently Deleted. Everything still runs on your device: no account, no uploads, and what you clear goes to Recently Deleted, where iOS keeps it for about 30 days. Feedback and bug reports are genuinely welcome — the support link on the App Store page reaches me directly. ### 1.0.0 — 2026-08-20 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
