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.

About

Bytebye

Read full description

Your photo library fills up quietly. The same picture saved three times. A burst of forty near-identical shots. Screenshots you needed once. Blurry photos you never got around to deleting. Bytebye finds them and shows how much space they take up — before you pay anything. WHAT IT FINDS • Exact duplicates — the same photo saved more than once • Similar photos — burst shots and near-identical takes • Screenshots — all of them, except your Favorites • Blurry photos — out-of-focus and shaky shots • Screen recordings — clips you captured and no longer need • Similar videos — near-identical takes of the same moment • Large videos — anything over 100 MB, biggest first SWIPE, MONTH BY MONTH Pick any month of your library and swipe through it: left to delete, right to keep. Undo takes back your last swipe. Long-press any item to see it full screen — zoom into photos, play videos. ONE PHOTO ALWAYS STAYS In every duplicate or similar group one shot stays, and it cannot be selected for deletion. If you marked a photo as a Favorite, that one stays. Otherwise Bytebye keeps the sharpest shot; among equally sharp ones the highest resolution, then the oldest. You can hand the role to another shot whenever you disagree. Favorites are never suggested for deletion in the screenshot, blurry, screen recording or large video lists. YOUR PHOTOS NEVER LEAVE YOUR PHONE There is no server, no account and no upload. Every scan runs on your device, and your photos are never sent anywhere. The free version shows ads through Google AdMob, which receives the device data ads need, and your advertising identifier only if you allow tracking. With Bytebye Premium there are no ads and no ad data. Deleted items go to Recently Deleted, where your phone keeps them for 30 days. HONEST PRICING The scan is always free — you see the full result and the size of every category before deciding anything. No weekly plan. No hidden trial charges. Pay once, or pay yearly. SUBSCRIPTION AND TERMS The yearly Bytebye Premium subscription renews automatically every year unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings at any time. The one-time purchase is not a subscription and nothing renews.
