CleanCore: DeviceCare helps you take better care of your iPhone — not only by keeping your storage clean and organized, but also by helping you stay focused and mindful in your daily digital routine. The app combines smart device cleanup tools with a unique focus experience, giving you a calm, clear, and reliable way to manage both your storage and your screen time. • Smart Storage Cleaner Free up space with confidence. CleanCore scans your device to help you identify large, unused, or redundant files. Review everything before deleting and remove only what you choose. Duplicate photos, similar images, screenshots, and videos are detected automatically, making it easier to keep your gallery clean while preserving what matters. • Photo & Media Organizer Keep your media organized without effort. CleanCore groups similar photos and videos, highlights duplicates and blurry images, and helps you decide what to keep and what to remove. Enjoy a cleaner gallery and a clearer overview of your storage. • Contact Cleanup Maintain a tidy and efficient contact list. Merge duplicate contacts, remove outdated entries, and organize your address book in a few simple steps. A clean contact list means easier searching and smoother communication. • Secure Private Storage Protect your personal content with confidence. CleanCore allows you to store private photos and videos in a secure, hidden space accessible only to you. All processing happens directly on your device. Your data is never uploaded or shared. Privacy always comes first. • Focus Mode — Grow Your Concentration Stay focused in a calm and visual way. CleanCore includes a unique concentration mode designed to help you spend uninterrupted time away from distractions. When you activate Focus Mode, a simple visual scene appears on the screen. As long as you stay focused and keep the app open, a small sprout gradually grows into a full tree. If you leave the app or cancel the session, the growth stops — encouraging you to stay present and focused. This is not just a timer, but a gentle visual metaphor that helps you reduce screen distractions and build mindful habits over time. • Device Overview & Daily Care Stay informed and in control of your device. CleanCore provides a clear overview of storage usage and helps you understand when it's time for cleanup or maintenance. Regular organization helps keep your device tidy, responsive, and easy to use. • Why Choose CleanCore CleanCore: DeviceCare is designed for users who value clarity, balance, and simplicity in their digital lives.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CleanCore at 100% against MicLabs's 0%. CleanCore also leads on ratings volume (103 vs 13). MicLabs's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. CleanCore sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per 7 days and MicLabs sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MicLabs holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CleanCore has 103 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of CleanCore's written reviews are positive against 0% of MicLabs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CleanCore ships an update every 2 months, MicLabs every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
