CleanX – Smart Storage Cleaner CleanX helps you clean up your iPhone and free up valuable storage with fast, reliable, and secure on-device scanning. In just a few taps, you can review photos, videos, contacts, calendar events, and private media tools — all designed to give you control before anything is deleted, compressed, or removed. All scanning, analysis, and cleanup actions are designed to happen on your device, so you can manage your storage without uploading your cleanup data to the cloud. Key Features Photo Cleanup Find duplicate and similar photos, screenshots, Live Photos, blurry images, low-quality photos, and duplicate albums in one place. CleanX helps group cleanup results clearly, recommends the best photo to keep when available, and lets you preview everything before deleting selected items. Swipe-to-Clean Review Review photos one by one with a natural swipe experience. Swipe left to delete, swipe right to keep, move through albums faster, and continue cleaning recommended albums after each review. Video Cleanup Quickly find large or unwanted videos, sort them by size, date, or category, and preview each video before deleting. CleanX helps you identify space-consuming videos while keeping deletion under your control. Video Compression Compress videos to reduce file size while preserving visual quality. Choose different compression levels, review estimated space savings, and decide whether to keep or delete the original video after compression. Contact Cleanup Detect duplicate, incomplete, or invalid contacts automatically. Review contact details before merging or deleting, back up contacts before cleanup, and manage backup history when needed. Calendar Cleanup Find expired or unnecessary calendar events, filter by all events or expired events, select individual items or select all, and delete selected events only after confirmation. Private Space Create a PIN-protected private space for selected photos and videos. Organize private items in albums, view or share them when needed, and remove items from Private Space without deleting the original files from your system album.
