Gallery Cleaner finds the photos and videos eating your iPhone storage and helps you clear them in a few swipes. The scan runs entirely on your device. Your photos stay on your iPhone. WHAT IT FINDS • Exact duplicates and very close matches (visual, not just identical files) • Screenshots you forgot about • Burst sequences, with the best shot kept automatically • Large photos and large videos • Screen recordings • Live Photos you no longer need HOW IT WORKS 1. Give access to Photos. 2. Pick a category or run a full scan. 3. Swipe Keep, Hide or Delete on each one. 4. See how much space you freed. SAFE BY DEFAULT • Hide moves picks to the Hidden album in Photos. Fully reversible. • Delete sends picks to Recently Deleted in Photos. 30 days to restore. • Favorites, photos from the last 7 days and Live Photos can be auto-protected. • In a duplicate group, the best photo is kept automatically. WHY ON-DEVICE MATTERS Your photos are never uploaded, never previewed to a server, and no account is required. The scan uses Apple's Vision framework right on your iPhone. We don't see your photos and neither does anyone else. Turn off analytics in Settings and the app stops all usage and crash reporting. WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone with thousands of screenshots they meant to delete • People with iCloud Photos who keep hitting the storage cap • Power users who shoot bursts and want only the best • Anyone who hides personal photos and wants a cleaner album view GALLERY HEALTH SCORE A simple score that goes up as you clean. Weekly reports show your progress, with a small reminder when your library starts getting cluttered again. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Other photo cleaners look for byte-identical files only. Gallery Cleaner uses perceptual matching — so a 3-shot burst with the same composition gets grouped, and the sharpest one is auto-protected. You see what you're keeping before anything moves. LANGUAGES 14 languages with native translations: English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish. PREMIUM $5.99/week or $39.99/year. Auto-renews. Cancel anytime in Settings. Premium unlocks full-library scan, custom time ranges, and advanced filters. Free covers the last 30 days with every category. QUESTIONS If a photo went to Hidden, open Photos, go to Albums, find the Hidden section, and use Unhide. If you sent something to Recently Deleted, you have 30 days to restore it inside Photos. Gallery Cleaner doesn't touch deleted photos after that. TIPS THAT ACTUALLY HELP • Start with screenshots — they're the safest to delete and usually the biggest win on a typical iPhone. • Run a quick scan after a trip or a long event. That's when you take dozens of near-identical shots that pile up in the burst category. • Check the Hidden album every couple of weeks. Things you put there during a cleanup are still using storage until you delete them in Photos. • Combine with iOS Storage Recommendations. Gallery Cleaner handles the visual library; iOS handles the system-level optimization. WHAT WE DON'T DO • We don't upload your photos. The scan happens on your iPhone, full stop. • We don't ask for an email or account. You can use the app without registering anything. • We don't show ads. No interstitials, no banners, no rewarded video. • We don't sell data. Usage analytics are anonymous and optional — turn them off in Settings anytime. UNDER THE HOOD The detection uses Apple's Vision framework. Each photo gets a small perceptual fingerprint that captures composition, color, and structure. Two photos with identical fingerprints are exact duplicates; photos with very close fingerprints are near-duplicates (different exposure, slight angle change). The fingerprints are computed and compared entirely on your iPhone.
