Your iPhone is full. dClutter fixes that. dClutter scans your photo library and surfaces exactly what's eating your storage — duplicate photos, large videos, old screenshots, and blurry shots you forgot to delete. Review everything before anything is removed. You're always in control. What dClutter finds: Duplicate photos — Using a perceptual hash algorithm, dClutter groups visually identical photos so you can compare them side by side and keep only the best. Large videos — Surface videos over 50 MB sorted by size, preview them before you decide, and delete the ones you don't need. Screenshots — Screenshots pile up fast. dClutter's grid view makes it easy to select and clear dozens at once. Blurry photos — Motion blur, bad focus, closed eyes. dClutter detects them automatically so you don't have to squint at every shot. 100% on-device. No account required. dClutter never uploads your photos to any server. All scanning and detection happens locally on your iPhone. Your library stays private.
