## What is Smart Cleaner?

Free up space. Keep what matters.

Smart Cleaner shows you exactly what is using your iPhone's storage, then gets that space back by compressing your media rather than deleting it. Every figure it shows is one it measured on your device and can act on.

COMPRESS INSTEAD OF DELETE
Large videos are re-encoded to HEVC using your iPhone's own hardware encoder, and Live Photos can be converted to stills. You keep the memory at a fraction of the size. Deleting is offered too, but it is never the default and never the headline.

SEE WHERE YOUR SPACE WENT
A measured breakdown of photos, videos, screenshots and screen recordings, with the biggest items listed first so you can start where it actually counts.

KNOW HOW LONG YOU HAVE
Smart Cleaner records one storage reading a day and fits a trend to them, so it can tell you roughly how long your free space will last - and, more usefully, how much runway freeing space would buy you. With fewer than three days of readings it says it is still learning instead of inventing a number, and it never quotes a specific date.

HONEST ABOUT ICLOUD
Items that live only in iCloud are separated from items on your iPhone, because removing an iCloud-only item frees almost nothing locally. Smart Cleaner only promises space that physically exists on the device.

WHAT IT WILL NEVER CLAIM
No junk files. No system cache. No RAM or battery boost. iOS gives no third-party app access to any of that, and Smart Cleaner does not pretend otherwise. It even names the part of your storage that no app can clean, rather than quietly blaming it all on your photos.

PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION
There is no network layer for your media, no account and no analytics. Compression runs on your device, duplicate detection runs on your device, and the scan index is a local file that leaves when the app does.

FREE
The full storage breakdown, the biggest-items list, the storage forecast, the by-year view, cleanup history, exact copies, bursts, screenshots, screen recordings and slow-motion clips - and cleaning up to 20 items per run.

PREMIUM
- Unlimited batch cleaning, instead of 20 items at a time
- Whole-library duplicate and near-duplicate scanning
- Photo quality scan, for the blurred and badly exposed shots
- Live Photo conversion
- Contacts and calendar cleanup
- Advanced compression controls: quality, resolution and frame rate
- Automatic maintenance, compressing big new videos overnight
