The calm, smart way to clean your iPhone storage. Find duplicate photos, compress videos, and free up gigabytes — without deleting anything you'd regret. Nothing is ever deleted without your explicit permission. SIMILAR PHOTOS Groups near-identical shots so you can keep the best one and let the rest go. Burst sequences, slightly different angles, that restaurant photo you took eleven times — Spaceback finds them all. LARGE FILES Surface the videos quietly eating your storage. Sort by size, date, or duration to see the biggest offenders first. SCREENSHOTS Old screenshots pile up fast. Browse them all and clear out the ones you no longer need. CONTACTS Find and merge duplicate contacts so your address book actually makes sense. COMPRESS VIDEOS Shrink video file sizes without visible quality loss. Choose from three presets — High, Balanced, or Max Savings — and keep the originals or replace them. LIVE PHOTOS Convert Live Photos to stills and reclaim 2–4× the space per photo. The motion component is removed; the still image stays perfectly intact. BUILT WITH CARE — Nothing deleted without your explicit permission — No cloud uploads — everything stays on your device — Clean, calm interface designed to reduce decision fatigue — Works with your existing library via Apple's PhotoKit Free up space. Keep what matters. Breathe. By downloading Spaceback, you agree to our Terms of Use: https://spaceback.app/terms and Privacy Policy: https://spaceback.app/privacy
