## What is BaerClear?

BaerClear is your modern photo & storage assistant. Instead of unrealistic "boosters", BaerClear analyzes your library right on your device and shows you, clearly and transparently, where you can win back storage.

WHAT BAERCLEAR FINDS
• Screenshots that piled up
• Receipts & documents you photographed
• Blurry or low-quality shots
• Bursts & series — keep the best, clear the rest
• Similar photos and possible duplicates
• Large photos and large videos
• Old videos you haven't touched in a while
• From Other Apps — images saved from WhatsApp, messengers & downloads

WHAT'S FREE
• Every category above — nothing is hidden behind a lock
• The full scan, the Storage Report and the Largest Items leaderboard
• 50 deleted photos or videos per month, refilled on the 1st

TWO WAYS TO REVIEW
• Grid review — see every suggestion at a glance; tap to select, or hold and drag across several photos
• Swipe mode — go through photos one by one: swipe left to delete, right to keep

STORAGE AT A GLANCE
• Storage Report — your library split by photos, videos, screenshots & Live Photos, with a trend over time
• Largest Items — the biggest photos & videos as a leaderboard, select & delete right there
• Home-screen widget — "about X GB reclaimable" at a glance
• Live Activity — scan and compression progress in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen
• iCloud badge — photos stored only in iCloud are marked, so you always know whether you're freeing space here or in iCloud
• Siri & Shortcuts — “Scan my photos with BaerClear”, or drop the scan into your own automation
• Share your result — a card with what you freed, plus your running total

TIDY CONTACTS
• Find & merge duplicates (all at once too), remove incomplete & empty contacts, clean up duplicate numbers
• A vCard safety backup before every action; edit in the native iOS editor (its own permission, on-device)

YOU'RE ALWAYS IN CONTROL
Nothing is deleted automatically. You review every suggestion and confirm deletion through the normal iOS dialog. Deleted items stay in "Recently Deleted" for 30 days, so you can always recover them. Mark Favorites or any photo as "protected" so it's never suggested.

PRIVACY FIRST
The analysis happens on your device. No tracking. No uploads. Your photos never leave your iPhone or iPad.

COMPRESS LARGE VIDEOS
Turn space-hungry videos into smaller copies and see exactly how much you save — your original is kept until you decide to remove it.

BAERCLEAR PRO
Pro lifts the monthly cap: unlimited cleanup, whenever you want. It also unlocks Tidy Contacts and the tools for large videos — and it keeps BaerClear ad-free and tracker-free.

• Monthly and Yearly subscriptions, or a one-time Lifetime purchase
• Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled; manage anytime in Settings
• Restore Purchases is always available

BaerClear is not a "system cleaner". No "speed up", no "RAM cleaner", no "virus removal" — just honest, reviewable help with your photos and videos.

Clean Photos. Save Space.
