iCleanse frees up storage on your iPhone without blindly deleting memories. Everything is analyzed on your device, and nothing ever leaves your phone. THE REAL STORAGE HOGS • Exact and similar duplicate photos • Burst Series — keep the best shot, clear the rest in a tap • Large videos silently eating gigabytes • Blurry shots, dark photos, pointless screenshots • Duplicate contacts, merged safely without losing details • Media stored both on device and in iCloud • Old calendar events and completed reminders NEW WAYS TO EXPLORE YOUR LIBRARY • Photos by Place — browse and clean photos grouped by where they were taken • Photos with Text — automatically finds receipts, documents, and whiteboard shots, searchable by the text inside them • Video Compression — shrink big videos to 1080p HEVC and keep the memory, not the megabytes PRIVACY WITHOUT COMPROMISE • 100% on-device analysis — your photos are never uploaded to a server • No internet connection needed to scan or clean • No analytics, no trackers, no ad SDKs • You confirm every deletion — nothing disappears behind your back BUILT TO BE FAST • Battle mode: two similar photos side by side, one tap decides • Swipe cleanup — sort hundreds of photos in minutes • Smart sorting: biggest files first, or sort manually by date and size • Storage health score with concrete recommendations • Widgets and Siri Shortcuts for regular cleanups PRO TOOLS • Safari Ad Blocker — blocks ads, trackers, and analytics right inside Safari; runs entirely on your device • EXIF metadata removal (location data, camera model) • Similar photo detection with perceptual hashing • Fuzzy contact matching ("Mike" finds "Michael", "John Smith" = "Smith, John") • Preview before every deletion • Optimized for iPhone and iPad GOOD TO KNOW iOS protects other apps' private files and hidden system data. iCleanse is honest about that: we don't claim to clean what no app can clean. Instead, we focus on the real, visible clutter you can see and control. After deleting photos, remember to empty "Recently Deleted" in the Photos app — iOS keeps files there for 30 days before the space is actually freed. PREMIUM iCleanse is free to try — your first 10 clean-ups are on us. Premium unlocks unlimited cleaning, Battle mode, smart sorting, the Safari Ad Blocker, video compression, and every advanced feature. Weekly, monthly, and annual plans available. Subscriptions renew automatically. Cancel anytime in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions.
