About

PixMop

Features
Read full description

PixMop is a fully on-device photo cleanup app. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED The app is completely testable without credentials. On first launch it shows a priming screen explaining why photo access is needed; the iOS permission dialog appears only after the user taps "Fotozugriff erlauben". NO DATA COLLECTION, NO NETWORK PixMop has no backend and makes no network requests of any kind. All photo access happens locally through the iOS Photos framework (PHPhotoLibrary). A Content-Security-Policy with connect-src 'self' is shipped in the web layer to enforce this. NO AI PixMop does not use any AI or machine-learning service, neither on-device nor remote. NO IN-APP PURCHASES The app is free and contains no IAPs, no subscriptions and no paywall. CROSS-PROMOTION The Settings screen contains a link to our own other app, ContractLife (App Store ID 6766085390). It opens the Apple App Store product page — it is not an external purchase mechanism. The app icon shown next to it is bundled locally, so opening Settings loads nothing from any server. DELETION FLOW Deletions are collected in an in-app trash and committed as ONE batch through PHAssetChangeRequest.deleteAssets, which triggers the standard iOS confirmation dialog. Cancelling that dialog leaves the trash untouched.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PixMop at none against Moblin's 16. PixMop also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Moblin's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
