## What is Keeplock?

Most people don't clean up their photos because they're afraid of deleting something important. Keeplock fixes that.

Keep the handful of shots you want to keep — they're automatically excluded from every delete action in the app. Then cull boldly: open when storage fills up, apply a saved deletion rule in one tap, and clean up in bulk. Anything you remove stays in Recently Deleted for 30 days.

— Save your deletion rules, clean up in one tap
Save filter presets like "screenshots older than 3 months," "videos over 10 MB," or "iPhone shots over 1 month old." When storage gets tight, tap the preset on the home screen to review and clear matching photos.

— Keep your keepers safe
Keeplock's Keep is a deletion safety valve. Keep the handful of photos you want to keep, and they're automatically excluded from bulk deletes, Best Shots, and swipe-to-delete alike. The delete confirmation shows exactly what's protected ("X kept"), so you always know what's safe.

— Best Shots recommend the one worth keeping
Keeplock automatically groups visually similar shots (bursts, brackets, RAW) and uses AI to suggest the shot to keep from each group, considering smiles, expressions, and overall photo quality. Narrow down hundreds of frames in an instant. Grouping expands progressively in the background, and every bit of analysis happens on-device.

— Discover well-shot photos you haven't kept yet
Keep Candidates surfaces well-shot photos you haven't kept yet — tap to Keep the ones you like. Available once you've kept 80 or more photos (free up to 100 kept photos, unlimited with Premium). All analysis happens on-device.

— Duplicate detection
Photos with identical file size, resolution, and format are grouped together. Tap "Keep newest, delete the rest" to clean up in one action.

— Find photos by how you shoot
- Media type (photo / video / Live Photo / panorama / screenshot / HDR / portrait)
- File format (JPEG / HEIC / PNG / RAW / DNG / GIF / WebP / TIFF / BMP / QuickTime / MP4)
