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.
