Tired of your camera roll being a messy drawer of things you don't need? Receipts, parking spots, Wi-Fi passwords, and locker numbers don't belong next to your memories. Meet A Day, the self-clearing visual notepad. A Day is a simple tool built for one purpose: to hold your temporary visual notes, and then get out of the way. Capture a quick "snap" of anything you need to remember right now, but not forever. How it works: - A Clean Slate: Every snap you take disappears automatically after 24 hours. - Just 24: A simple 24-item limit keeps things light and manageable. - Stress-Free Utility: Use it for quick notes, reminders, or anything you'll be done with by tomorrow. Stop cluttering your gallery. Start your day fresh.

Storage Cleaner: Spaceback measures what your photo library is actually using, helps you clear it, and then tells you the truth about what iPhone did with the space. Here is the part every other cleaner leaves out. When you delete a photo on iPhone, it moves to Recently Deleted and keeps using the same storage for 30 more days. No app is allowed to empty that album for you โ€” including this one. So when a cleaner shows you confetti and a number the moment you tap delete, that number is not true yet. Spaceback does the opposite. It records what you queued, counts down the days iOS holds it, and tells you when the space genuinely came back. If you want it sooner, it shows you exactly where to empty Recently Deleted yourself. WHAT IT MEASURES โ€ข Screen recordings โ€” usually the single largest win on a phone. โ€ข Screenshots โ€” the ones that pile up hundreds at a time. โ€ข Large videos โ€” newest and biggest first. โ€ข Slow-motion and time-lapse โ€” high frame rates cost several times the size. โ€ข Live Photos โ€” each one carries a short video beside the still. โ€ข Bursts โ€” grouped by iOS's own burst identifier, so it is a fact rather than a guess. โ€ข Near-identical shots and exact duplicates โ€” grouped on this device. Every size is read from the file itself. Nothing is estimated, and nothing is counted twice when an item is in two categories. TWO WAYS TO CLEAN Review a whole category at once, or swipe through one photo at a time, month by month. Whichever you use: nothing is pre-selected, and nothing is deleted until you say so. Every card shows the photo's real size and the date it was taken, because that is what makes the decision rational instead of aesthetic. THE KEEP LIST A permanent never-delete set you build before you start โ€” not an undo afterwards. Favourites are never offered for deletion at all. THE RECLAIM LEDGER Every removal you queue, its purge date, a reminder before the 30 days close, and a measured free-space reading when it settles. If your free space went down over that period because you installed things, the ledger says so instead of taking credit. PRIVATE VAULT A PIN and Face ID protected space on this device. Items inside are encrypted, never uploaded, and stay accessible to you even if a subscription lapses. They are also excluded from your backups โ€” we say so before you create it, not after. WIDGETS Keep the figure on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, and start a cleanup from either. WHAT WE DO NOT DO No junk scanner, no RAM boost, no virus warnings, no speed meter. iOS does not permit any of it, so anyone claiming otherwise is guessing. BUILT TO BE TRUSTED โ€ข Everything runs on this device. No account, no sign-in, no analytics. โ€ข Nothing leaves your phone. There is no server to send it to. โ€ข Removals go to Recently Deleted, where iOS keeps them for 30 days. โ€ข Free space changes are reported as observations, never claimed as this app's doing. WHAT PRO ADDS Similar-shot detection, the private vault, selecting by size and age, reminders before iOS clears Recently Deleted, and unlimited removal. Everything else is free forever, including 50 removals a day. ONE PURCHASE, EVERY DEVICE Pro is a Universal Purchase across Mac, iPhone and iPad.
