TwinCleaner is a smart AI-powered photo cleaner that helps you bring order to your gallery. It finds duplicates, similar shots, and failed photos — leaving only the best ones: sharp, bright, and aesthetic. How it works: TwinCleaner analyzes each photo using machine vision and the NIMA neural network — the same technology used in professional photo editors to assess image quality. It can tell the difference between nearly identical shots, recognize composition, focus, and exposure, and suggest which ones to remove. No other neural networks are used, and your photos never leave your device — all processing happens locally, right on your phone. What it can do: • Finds duplicates and series of similar photos • Identifies the best photo in each group • Shows metadata (date, resolution, Live, location) • Works entirely on-device — no cloud uploads • Frees up storage and keeps your gallery neat Fast, precise, and privacy-friendly. TwinCleaner is like a smart assistant that organizes your photos while you focus on things you actually enjoy.
