Rinse gives you a simpler way to free up space, clean unnecessary clutter, and understand whatβs using storage on your device. Run a quick scan to find duplicate photos, old screenshots, large videos, files that can be compressed, duplicate contacts, calendar clutter, and more. Rinse brings everything together so you can review whatβs taking up space and decide what stays and what goes. CLEAN UP YOUR STORAGE Scan your device in one place and quickly see opportunities to reclaim storage. Rinse organizes cleanup items into easy-to-review categories so you can spend less time searching through your device manually. COMPRESS IMAGES & FILES Reduce the space used by large images and files while keeping the content you want. Rinse helps identify compression candidates and gives you control over what you optimize. REMOVE DUPLICATE PHOTOS Find exact duplicate photos taking up unnecessary space in your photo library. Review duplicate groups, choose which copies to keep, and remove the ones you no longer need. CLEAR OLD SCREENSHOTS Screenshots can pile up quickly. Rinse finds older screenshots and puts them in one place so you can review and clean them out in batches. FIND LARGE VIDEOS & FILES See large videos and other files that may be consuming significant storage. Preview items before removing them so you always stay in control of what gets deleted. CLEAN UP CONTACTS Find contacts that may be duplicated based on shared phone numbers or email addresses. Review potential duplicates and keep your address book more organized. TIDY YOUR CALENDAR Find past, declined, or duplicate calendar events that may no longer be useful and review them for cleanup. UNDERSTAND YOUR STORAGE Get a clearer view of your device storage, including capacity, used space, available space, and some of the largest items found during your scan. ONE SCAN. ONE PLACE. Rinse combines storage cleanup tools into a single experience. Instead of jumping between your Photos library, Files, Contacts, Calendar, and device settings, you can review cleanup opportunities from one organized dashboard. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your personal media stays personal. Rinse analyzes your photos and media on your device and does not upload your library for storage analysis. No account login is required to start scanning. Rinse also supports Limited Photos access, giving you more control over what the app can see. YOUβRE ALWAYS IN CONTROL Rinse does not automatically erase your content. You review and select items before deletion, and supported photo deletions use the standard iOS confirmation process.
