WashKit finds what fills up your iPhone — duplicate photos, huge videos, old screenshots — and helps you clear it in a few taps. Swipe through your camera roll, keep what matters and get gigabytes back. SWIPE TO CLEAN UP • Swipe right to keep, left to delete: recent photos, a random mix, any month or On This Day. • iOS asks you to confirm every deletion, and deleted items stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days. DUPLICATES • Find duplicate photos and videos, including near-identical shots. • Compare the copies and choose which one to keep. SMART SCAN • One scan shows duplicates, screenshots and large videos together, with the space you can free. LARGE VIDEOS AND COMPRESSION • See your biggest videos sorted by size. • Compress videos and photos into smaller files to save space. SCREENSHOTS AND MORE • Clear old screenshots, imported photos and videos, and recent videos. • Browse your albums and your library month by month. SECRET VAULT • Keep private photos and videos in a vault inside WashKit, locked with a PIN, Face ID or Touch ID. • Export them as a ZIP file at any time. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • See how much space you have freed this month, keep a daily swipe streak and get a recap of your year. IPHONE DUO • On iPhone Duo, WashKit uses the whole inner display: compare duplicates side by side and swipe on the big screen. PRIVACY • WashKit scans your library on your device and never uploads your photos or videos. • No ads and no account needed. FREE AND PREMIUM Free: duplicate photos and videos, screenshots, swipe cleanup, photo compression, albums, the monthly view and your storage overview. WashKit Premium adds: deleting everything Smart Scan finds in one tap, deleting and compressing large videos, swiping through your largest videos, On This Day for any date, and Secret Vault.

Verdict

The call

QR Code Reader and WashKit both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of WashKit's written reviews are positive against 24% of QR Code Reader's. WashKit also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription). QR Code Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
