Gallery Checkup
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your camera roll is full. Your photos are private. Keep both true. Gallery Checkup finds the clutter hiding in your photo library — and clears it without ever sending a single photo off your device. One tap starts a private scan, right on your iPhone or iPad. In seconds you get clean, sorted review bundles for the stuff quietly eating your storage: • Old screenshots you never look at again • Large videos taking up the most space • Similar shots and photo bursts — keep the best, drop the rest • Live Photos and blurry or dark misfires • Saves from social and chat apps • Older loose photos gathering dust • RAW + JPEG duplicates of the same shot Open any bundle and review it your way — one photo at a time, keep what matters, and mark only what you want gone. Nothing leaves your library until you say so. You are always in control • Every photo and video stays on your device. No uploads. No cloud. No accounts. • Works fully offline. • Favorites are protected automatically. • Nothing is deleted until you confirm — twice, if you want. • See exactly how much space you'll get back before you remove anything. Free to start Scan your whole library and review one full cleanup bundle for free. Like what you see? Unlock every bundle with an optional subscription and reclaim gigabytes in minutes. Stop scrolling past "Storage Almost Full." Give your library a checkup today. Subscription Gallery Checkup offers an optional monthly auto-renewing subscription that unlocks review of all cleanup bundles while active. The price is shown before purchase and may vary by country or region. Payment is charged to your Apple Account after confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Privacy Policy: https://gallerycheckup.app/privacy/ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Notes: Kept all required subscription disclosure + both links — Apple rejects auto-renew listings without them. Removed word-for-word feature dump; led with the tension (full roll vs. privacy) since that's the hook. Keyword field: skipped "gallery","checkup","photo" — title already indexes those; don't waste chars. Add "ios cleaner" or "smart" only if you drop something else — you're at 164/170.
