Cleanup is the all-in-one iPhone storage cleaner that uses AI to find and remove similar photos, duplicate contacts, large videos, and redundant screenshots — freeing up gigabytes in minutes. Running low on storage? Cleanup scans your entire library, groups near-duplicate photos with AI, and lets you delete them in one tap. No more manually reviewing hundreds of photos that look almost identical. KEY FEATURES: Similar Photos (AI-Powered) Find photos that look nearly identical — different lighting, slight angles, burst shots — and keep only the best one. AI groups them so you review clusters, not individual files. Duplicate Photos Instantly detect exact duplicate photos taking up hidden space. One tap removes every copy. Large Videos Surface your biggest video files at a glance. Sort, preview, and delete the ones you no longer need. Similar Screenshots Screenshots pile up fast. Cleanup groups near-identical screenshots so you can bulk-delete in seconds. Photo & Video Compression Reclaim space without deleting a single file. Choose your compression level and shrink photos and videos while keeping them in your library. Contacts Cleanup Find duplicate and incomplete contacts, then merge or delete them to keep your address book clean. Storage Monitor A live storage bar shows exactly how much space is used, free, and total — always visible on the home screen. WHY CLEANUP: Most cleaner apps only catch exact duplicates. Cleanup's AI similarity engine finds photos that look alike but are not byte-for-byte identical — the shots you actually waste storage on. Combine that with video management, screenshot cleanup, contact deduplication, and on-device compression, and you have one app that replaces four. PERFECT FOR: - iPhone users who see "Storage Almost Full" warnings - Photographers and heavy camera-roll users - Anyone who wants a clean, organized photo library - People who text photos and accumulate near-identical shots PRO PLAN — UNLOCK EVERYTHING: Free plan includes basic duplicate detection and storage monitoring.
