## What is Phlash?

Your camera roll deserves better. Phlash turns photo cleanup into a calm 5-minute habit — swipe to keep, swipe to delete, reclaim the storage you've been avoiding. No alarms. No tricks. Just you and a clean library.

WHY PHLASH FEELS DIFFERENT

• Mindful, not alarmist. We won't pretend your phone is "at risk." Cleaning your photos should feel good, not stressful.
• 100% on-device. Your photos never leave your phone. Vision and Core Image do the work locally — we literally cannot see them.
• Five layers of safety before anything is permanently gone. A 4-second tap-to-undo, a top-bar review pill, the full review screen, the iOS confirmation sheet, then 30-day Recently Deleted. Mistakes are nearly impossible.
• Real differentiation, not another "Cleaner": daily curated piles, on-device OCR for screenshots, perceptual-hash duplicate detection, and a mid-session breathe.

DAILY CLEANUP, IN 5 MINUTES

Phlash builds a fresh pile of 50 photos each session — chosen from the oldest, lowest-emotional-weight months first. Swipe right to keep, left to delete, down to skip for later. After 25 swipes, take a breath. Finish the pile, review what you marked, and one tap sends them all to iOS Recently Deleted in a single batch.

FOUR FOCUSED MODES

Screenshots — On-device OCR (no cloud) so you can see what each screenshot actually says before you decide. Bulk-delete by age (older than 1 month, 6 months, or 1 year) with Favorites always preserved.

Large videos — Sorted by accurate file size. The biggest 14 videos usually account for the largest single storage win. Multi-select and reclaim gigabytes in seconds.

Duplicates — Perceptual-hash clustering finds near-identical photos. Phlash recommends the highest-resolution keeper; you override with one tap. Apply the recommendation across every cluster at once when you trust it.

On This Day — A calm rediscovery feed of photos from this calendar day in past years. Keep what makes you smile. Let the rest go.

THOUGHTFUL TOUCHES

• Light, Dark, and System appearance — the warm coral palette adapts.
• Optional daily reminder at the time you choose. Optional Sunday evening recap. Off by default.
• Streak tracking that pauses when life happens — never breaks.
• Custom haptics: light tap for keep, medium for delete, soft for skip.
• Configurable session size: 25, 50, or 100 photos.
• Built for accessibility: VoiceOver labels everywhere, button alternatives for every swipe.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-11

A calm little update with two new ways to lighten your library:

• Bursts & Live Photos — Phlash now groups your burst shots and Live Photos, spots the sharpest frame, and helps you keep the best and let go of the rest. As always, you'll see exactly how much space you got back.
• Monthly Recap — at the start of each month, get a gentle look back at what you tidied: photos reviewed, space reclaimed, and your streak. Share it if you're proud. (You should be.)
• Small fixes and polish throughout. 

Anything you remove goes to Recently Deleted first, and your photos never leave your device.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-06-16

Thanks for cleaning with us. Three calm new ways to tidy:

  • Bursts — Phlash groups your burst and near-identical shots and suggests the best one to keep. You clear the rest in a swipe, and you always have the final say.
  • Today's Pile widget — a gentle home-screen reminder that your pile is ready. Tap it to jump straight into a 5-minute session.
  • Monthly Recap — a quiet, shareable look back at the photos you reviewed and the space you reclaimed. Celebratory, never guilt-trippy.

Everything still happens 100% on your device. Photos never leave it.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-15

Three calm additions in 1.0.1:

  • Bursts & Live Photos mode. Phlash finds bursts and Live Photos on your device, picks the sharpest frame, and lets you reclaim the rest with one tap. Everything
  happens on your phone — nothing leaves.

  • Today's Pile widget. A small, friendly nudge on your home screen — no badges, no countdowns. Just your pile, when you have five minutes.

  • Monthly recap. At the start of each month, a gentle card shows what you reclaimed last month. Shareable if you want, quietly yours if you don't.

  Thank you for spending five mindful minutes with Phlash.
