## What is Whittle?

Whittle is an honest storage cleaner for iPhone. No fake junk numbers, no scareware, no ads, and nothing ever leaves your phone.

Compress videos in three levels, from a light trim to a deep shrink.
Compress photos while keeping the date, place, and orientation.
Find duplicate photos and videos, blurry shots, and old screenshots.
Trim videos and change the video codec to HEVC to save even more.
Convert Live Photos to still images.
Swipe to clean and review your largest files at a glance.

Anything you remove goes to Recently Deleted first, so you can undo it.

### 5/5 — Absolutely easy and the best whittle app

*2026-07-08*

As a mom and photographer I have a gazillion photos and videos and having this app is like a lifesaver. It makes my camera run smoother and so much faster. Plus I have more room for other apps and more photos!

**Developer response:** Thank you, this made my whole week. A gazillion photos is exactly the person I built Whittle for, and hearing that your camera feels faster and you have room to keep shooting is the best possible outcome. No fake junk numbers, no ads, just real space back.

I'm not done, either. Updates keep coming, and the latest one added background scans, saved results, and work that picks up right where it left off.

If I could buy you and the kids ice cream, I would. Since I can't, I'll settle for making the app better. 

Thank you for taking a chance on it.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.7 — 2026-07-12

Clean a folder just got a lot better.

Pick any folder from the Files app and Whittle opens it as its own workspace, with tools scoped to just that folder:
Browse every file by size
Find and clear exact duplicates
Compress photos, with quality and resolution controls
Compress videos, with real resolution tiers and a live saving estimate
Change codec to HEVC
Trim clips

Compressing or trimming now always shows you a before and after first. Keep the smaller copy or keep your original, one choice per file, and nothing is replaced until you tap Apply. Same honest review flow as the rest of the app.

Also in this update:
Opening a folder now shows a live count as it scans, plus a progress bar while it checks for duplicates, so you can see it working
Folder thumbnails stay put while you scroll instead of flickering
You can now switch between folders freely
Whittled copies are saved in their correct format
The background completion notification now fires correctly when a scan finishes in the background
Smaller reliability and cleanup fixes

As always: no ads, no fake junk numbers, and nothing ever leaves your phone.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-09

Faster background work. Compression, codec, and trim jobs now keep running while you switch screens, and resume on their own if the app closes mid-run. Scans save their results and reopen instantly. Added a Leave a Review shortcut on the home screen and a clearer About page explaining how background work behaves.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-07

Faster, more reliable scans. Results now save and resume if you leave and come back. Added first-run tips and background scanning with completion alerts, plus a fresh look on the home screen.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-06

No release notes.
