Accurator – Smart cleanup, deblur, and memories in one photo organizer Is your smartphone overflowing with photos? Meet Accurator – a full gallery assistant that combines Smart Cleanup, one-tap deblur, and a fun Memories feed. Free up space by catching blurry shots, duplicates, screenshots, and oversized files; restore sharpness to a single photo with ML; and relive random moments from across the years. How It Works Smart Cleanup scans for blurry photos, duplicates, screenshots, and huge files so you can free storage fast. Need to save a special shot? Open any photo and deblur it with ML to bring back sharpness. Memories mode shows a random photo from your gallery; tap to keep it and see the next one, or hit the bin to mark it for deletion. Safe Deletion All photos marked for deletion are first placed into an in-app Trash list. Nothing is removed right away – you can review the selected files, restore any you change your mind about, and only then confirm the deletion. You can choose to delete photos one by one or clear them all at once. When you're ready to finalize, the files are moved to your system trash where you can still recover them if needed.
