TidyByte is the fastest, most private way to clean up your iPhone photo library — and it's completely free. TidyByte runs on iPhone, iPad, and iPhone Duo — and stays out of your way while it cleans. Tired of "Storage Almost Full"? TidyByte turns photo cleanup into something you'll actually finish. Swipe left to delete, swipe right to keep — review your whole library one photo at a time, just like a dating app, and reclaim gigabytes in minutes. Beyond swiping, TidyByte packs a full toolkit of smart cleanup tools that surface exactly what's wasting your space: exact and visual duplicates, near-identical similar shots, blurry or poorly-lit photos, screenshots, screen recordings, chat media saved by messaging apps, burst sequences, and your largest files. Convert Live Photos to stills and compress videos and photos to save even more — without deleting your memories. Your photos never leave your phone. TidyByte does 100% of its processing on-device using Apple's Vision and Photos frameworks, including a local AI search that finds photos from a plain-language description. There is no backend, no account or login, no ads, and no tracking of any kind. Nothing is uploaded, ever. TidyByte is free, with no in-app purchases and no paywalls. Every feature is available to everyone.
