Your iPhone is full. Again. Not because you take too many photos — because your library quietly collects things you never meant to keep. Four copies of the same receipt. Twelve takes of one group shot (someone blinked in eleven). Screenshots that mattered for exactly ten seconds. And somewhere in there, a five-minute screen recording the size of a small movie. Deleting all that by hand takes an afternoon. So it never happens. If you've ever thought "there should be an app that just finds this stuff" — you found it. Private Sweep finds what's safe to let go: • Exact duplicates, grouped, with the best copy already picked • Near-duplicates and burst lookalikes • Blurry photos • Screenshots and junk • Your biggest videos, ranked by the space they're hoarding • Duplicate, oversized, and stale files in any folder you choose HOW IT WORKS Run a sweep. Watch results stream in live. Then review — everything is grouped so you decide in seconds, not hours. Tap "Keep best" on a duplicate group and the app marks the copies for you. Nothing is deleted until you confirm, every deletion goes through Apple's own dialog, and everything lands in Recently Deleted, where it can be recovered for 30 days. There is no automatic anything. TURN KEEPERS INTO ALBUMS Cleaning is only half the story. The Organize tab groups the trips and events already in your library and turns them into albums with one tap. The photos you keep get easier to find — not just fewer. Now the part we care about most... PRIVACY! Private Sweep means private: * Every scan runs ON YOUR IPHONE. Your photos are never uploaded. Ever. * No accounts. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to leak. * We can't see your photos. Not "won't" — can't. There's no server for them to go to. * No ads, no data sales, no photo-content analytics. THE DEAL Your first full sweep is free — see everything the app can find before paying a cent. A single $2.99 unlock turns on cleanup and unlimited repeat sweeps, forever. No subscription. Buy it once, like the old days. Your storage didn't fill itself with photos you love. Sweep out the rest.

NEW: SEARCH THE TEXT IN YOUR PHOTOS Type a word from a screenshot, a receipt, a whiteboard, or a street sign, and Private Sweep finds the photo. It reads the text in your pictures right on your iPhone, and results appear the moment they are found. You can even search by file name, like IMG_0400. As always, nothing leaves your device. A BOLD NEW LOOK The Dashboard and Review tabs got bright, colorful category cards. Every cleanup category now shares the same beautiful side-by-side photo layout, with a Keep badge on the best shot and one clear delete bar. Duplicates, Near Duplicates, Blurry, Junk, Similar Shots, and Large Videos all feel like one app now. EASIER TO LEARN Friendly one-time tips introduce each screen the first time you visit, and the Organize tab greets you with the same clean look as the rest of the app. UNDER THE HOOD Faster repeat scans on large libraries, safer saving when storage runs low, full translations in all ten supported languages, and a batch of bug fixes to keep your review flowing smoothly. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-18 No release notes. ## More apps by Haro LLC - [Snap Santa](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/snap-santa/id6753114419) - [Mojo White](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mojo-white/id6757512830) - [Pocket Scan: Offline Scanner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pocket-scan-offline-scanner/id6758251702) All apps by Haro LLC: https://appshunter.io/developer/1842571816 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
