Nobody reads these. You scrolled the screenshots and already decided. So, the short version. Your phone is full of things you'd never miss. Ditchly shows them to you one at a time. Swipe left to ditch, right to keep. That's the app. Two decks: Media — screenshots, screen recordings, and the enormous old ones first, so the easy wins come first. Contacts — half-finished records and likely duplicates, long before anyone you actually call. Some photos don't need to go, just to lose weight. Shrink them light, medium, or heavy, and see the megabytes you'll save before you commit to anything. Share sits on the card if someone else should have it first. Nothing vanishes the moment you swipe. Staged items wait in a review screen until you say go, and undo is always one tap back. Photos land in Recently Deleted, where iOS holds them for 30 days. Contact deletions are permanent — read that sentence again. Every session ends with a tally of what you cleared. Lifetime totals live in Settings, for the kind of person who is still reading an App Store description. No account. No sign-in. Nothing tracked. Your photos and contacts never leave the phone, because they were never ours to move. Free to start: 50 ditches, then 25 a day. Keeping is never limited. Unlimited ditching and photo shrink come with a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime unlock. You'll need Photos or Contacts access for the matching deck. Grant one, skip the other, change your mind later. Either works. Still here? Impressive. Go swipe something.
