## What is Backspace?

Your photos and videos are quietly filling up your phone. Backspace helps you take that space back, one swipe at a time.

Backspace sorts your camera roll by file size, so the biggest space wasters show up first. Swipe left to clear, swipe right to keep. A few swipes can free gigabytes in seconds, without digging through thousands of photos by hand.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything happens on your device. No account, no sign up, no uploads, no ads, no tracking. Your photos never leave your phone, and nothing is ever collected. Just a clean, fast tool that respects your privacy.

HOW IT WORKS
- See exactly how much storage your photos and videos are using
- Start with the largest files, where the quick wins are
- Swipe to sort: left to delete, right to keep
- Review everything before it is removed, with the standard delete confirmation
- Watch the gigabytes add up as you go

KEEP IT CLEAN
Once the big files are cleared, the chronological view helps you stay on top of it. Sweep through your library by month, week, quarter, or year, so a few swipes now and then keep things lean.

Small effort, big impact. Reclaim your storage with Backspace.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-28

Backspace now runs on iOS 18, so it works on more devices.

Videos in the swipe view show a preview frame straight away instead of a spinner. If you have Optimise iPhone Storage turned on, sorting large videos should feel a lot quicker.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-24

No release notes.
