Cleaner shows what is taking up space on your iPhone and helps you deal with what has piled up on its own. DUPLICATES The app compares frames with one another and groups the repeats: bursts from a single moment, re-saved shots, accidental copies. The best frame in each group is marked for you — the sharpest and the largest. The rest can go in one move. LARGE FILES Everything heavy, sorted by size, with filters for video, photos, screenshots, Live Photos, slow motion and panoramas. VIDEO COMPRESSION Re-encode a clip to 4K, 1080p or 720p. The size before and after is shown in megabytes, so you can see what it costs in advance. Capture date, location, favourite status and regular albums are preserved. LIVE PHOTOS A live shot keeps a short video next to the still. You can drop just the video and keep the photo untouched: it is copied byte for byte, with no re-encoding. BLURRY SHOTS AND OLD SCREENSHOTS The app finds smeared frames and screenshots older than a month — the things that usually sit around for years without being needed. STRAIGHT TALK All analysis happens on your device. The app sends your photos nowhere, requires no account and collects no data. Deletion always goes through the system confirmation dialog, and deleted items go to Recently Deleted for 30 days — everything can be restored.
