FIRST Cleaner finds what takes up space on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, shows it to you, and removes only what you choose. It runs entirely on your device: no account, no server, no ads, no tracking. FIND WHAT TAKES SPACE • Duplicate photos and look-alike shots, with the best one kept for you • Similar videos, large videos, very short videos, slo-mo clips and screen recordings • Screenshots, blurry photos, dark photos, documents and receipts, bursts, panoramas and Live Photos • Duplicate contacts, merged after you review each group • A clear total of how much space can be freed, and what each type is worth STAY IN CONTROL • Nothing is deleted until you confirm, and you always see what goes • Photos you remove wait 30 days in Recently Deleted, so you can change your mind • Favourites are never removed in bulk, and edited photos are never converted • On Mac, files go to the Trash and caches of apps that hold your own data (Safari, Notes, Mail, Messages, Photos) are never offered CLEAN UP YOUR WAY • Swipe cleanup: go through your library one photo at a time, left to remove, right to keep • Compress videos and photos to save space, with the option to keep the originals • Convert Live Photos to regular photos to save space • Choose how strict the matching is for duplicates, similar photos and similar videos • A weekly reminder, if you want one, and a widget that shows your progress ON THE MAC • Mac Cleanup looks through your home folder for caches, logs, Xcode leftovers, old installers and very large files, and lets you tick exactly what to remove • Folder Tools finds large files and exact duplicate files in any folder you pick, and shows a map of what takes the space • App Uninstaller removes an app and the files it left behind • System Monitor shows storage, memory, processor and battery, including charge cycles and battery health PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Photos are compared on your device and are never copied, uploaded or shared • The app makes no network requests and collects no data • You can take any permission back at any time in Settings FIRST Cleaner helps you decide. It does not speed up or boost your device, and it cannot free memory for other apps. It shows you what takes up space, and you decide what goes. Notes: some features need your permission (Photos, Contacts, or access to a folder you choose). Mail attachments, device backups and the Trash on Mac can only be read if you turn on Full Disk Access in System Settings. Photos kept in iCloud may be downloaded by the system when the app needs to read them. ## Is FIRST Cleaner safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess FIRST Cleaner. ## Is FIRST Cleaner legit?

It used to be raised to the duplicate level, so it was never strict enough. • Similar videos are compared on five pictures instead of three, and plain pictures (black, white, an empty screen) are no longer taken as proof that two videos match. • New video levels, from 99% to 90%, with 95% recommended. Every video in a group must look like the best one of that group. • Videos are checked again in the background to get their new pictures; the first results may be few until it finishes. • Nothing is copied. Nothing leaves your iPhone. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-29 Faster, steadier and more precise. • More reliable when you leave the app during a scan or a compression. • Compress: batches of 5 to 1,000 items, your last settings are remembered, and the end message tells you exactly what was skipped and why. • The home screen and the Compress screen now show the same numbers. • Similar photos: choose the level of likeness, from 99% to 75%, in nine steps. • Similar videos are now compared on three pictures, so a long version and a short one that start the same are no longer grouped. • Filters on every result list, including videos, and a Clear cache button in Settings. • Nothing is copied. Nothing leaves your iPhone. ### 1.0 — 2026-10-28 No release notes. ## More apps by jeremie lictevoet - [BaliMarket.ID](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/balimarketid/id6761322326) - [Reload Sanctuary](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/reload-sanctuary/id6761961637) - [FIRST BALI](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/first-bali/id6801129569) - [FIRST Property Bali](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/first-property-bali/id6802224428) All apps by jeremie lictevoet: https://appshunter.io/developer/1888892944 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
