Free up gigabytes on your iPhone without losing a photo you meant to keep. OneCopy finds duplicate and near-identical photos and videos. It shows exactly how much space each one takes. Clear them in one tap. The full scan is free, with no time limit. WHAT IT FINDS • Duplicates — true copies, matched on image and file • Similar photos and bursts — near-identical tries at one shot • Screenshots and screen recordings — usually disposable • Live Photos — the motion is often safe to drop • Videos and large files — biggest first • Everything else, grouped by month MEASURED, NOT ESTIMATED • Every figure is a real file size from your library • See what each group holds before you remove anything • If deleting won't free space yet, the app says so • No inflated "save 40 GB" promises ON-DEVICE AI — NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE • Photos are compared on your iPhone with Apple Vision • No account, no sign-up, no internet needed • No ads or tracking SDKs • Nothing is uploaded. No data is sold or shared. SWIPE TO SORT — ONE MONTH AT A TIME • Go through a month, photo by photo • Swipe to keep or bin, then confirm the batch • Nothing leaves your library until you say so COMPRESS INSTEAD OF DELETING • Shrink photos and videos at the quality you choose • Dates and location are kept • Pick exactly which files to compress CONTACTS — MERGE AND BACK UP • Find and merge duplicate contacts • Back up your contacts without a computer • Restore any earlier backup PRIVATE VAULT • Lock private photos in a Face ID vault, out of your library ON MAC — INCLUDED • Compare near-identical shots on a big screen • See a whole group side by side, with the kept copy marked • Review everything from the keyboard BUILT TO BE SAFE • Nothing is deleted until you confirm — twice • Deleted items stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days • One copy in every group is always kept • The storage bar shows space not yet released, so the number is never a guess WHAT IT DOES NOT DO It can't clear "system junk" or other apps' caches. No app can — iOS doesn't allow it. OneCopy works with your photos and contacts. COMMON QUESTIONS Is it free? Scanning is free, with no time limit.

Sameish

Sameish finds the photos, videos and files you have more than one of, shows you what they're costing you, and helps you clear them — without anything leaving your iPhone. Scan once, and it sorts your clutter into three kinds: IDENTICAL COPIES The same photo, video or file saved more than once. Matched byte for byte, so a match is never a guess — keeping any one of them keeps exactly the same thing. LOOK-ALIKES Burst shots, the same pose taken four times, a screenshot you took twice, a video that was re-sent and re-compressed. These differ in their bytes, so Sameish compares them by how they look instead. Choose how strict matching should be: Strict, Balanced or Loose. BLURRY SHOTS Single photos that came out shaken or out of focus, sorted worst first — the ones you would never choose to keep. FILES TOO Add a folder — Downloads, Documents, anything in the Files app — and Sameish scans it for exact copies of any file type. It only ever sees the folders you choose. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE No account. No uploads. No ads. No analytics. Every comparison happens on your iPhone. Photos stored only in iCloud are skipped and counted, never downloaded behind your back. YOU DECIDE WHAT GOES Nothing is deleted until you confirm it. Every group suggests the best copy to keep, and warns you if you've selected every copy. Photos and videos go to Recently Deleted, where iOS keeps them for 30 days. Files have no Recently Deleted, and Sameish tells you so before you delete them. WHAT'S FREE • Every scan finds all three kinds and tells you how much space each is worth • Delete identical copies, one group at a time • Open the two biggest look-alike groups of each kind, and clear them once • Look through your blurry shots and delete two of them WHAT PREMIUM ADDS • See and delete every look-alike photo and video group • See and delete every blurry shot, worst first • Select the extra copies in every group in one step • Optionally download photos and videos kept only in iCloud, so they can be compared too Premium is available as a yearly subscription or as a one-time purchase that never renews. The yearly subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings.
