Running out of storage? Large Video Cleaner helps you quickly find and remove the biggest videos clogging up your photo library. We all have them: accidentally recorded videos, hours-long screen recordings, or videos your kids left recording overnight. These massive files silently eat up your iCloud and device storage. Large Video Cleaner sorts your entire video library by file size so the biggest space hogs appear first, making it easy to reclaim gigabytes of storage in minutes. KEY FEATURES - Largest First: videos are sorted by file size so you immediately see what's using the most space. - Quick Review: tap any video to preview it, then keep, trim, compress or delete it. - Bulk Actions: Select All, or everything over 1, 2 or 5 GB, then keep, compress or delete in one go, with a running total of the space involved. - Smart Compression: space-saving HEVC compression that keeps going in the background, estimates the result first, and tells you when a video won't shrink. The "Worth Compressing" filter finds the older and 4K videos that will. - Month Sections and Recently Added: see which months are filling your storage, or what arrived most recently. - Keep List: mark videos as "Keep" to hide them from future reviews without deleting them. - People Detection: detects whether videos contain people, to help you spot accidental pocket and blank-wall recordings. - Safe Deleting: deleted videos go to Recently Deleted in Photos, where you have 30 days to recover them. - Private: everything runs on your device. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no data collection. FREE TO TRY, THEN YOURS FOR GOOD Try every feature free for 3 full days. After that, scanning and reviewing your videos stay free forever, and a one-time unlock keeps deleting, compressing and trimming. No subscription. Already bought the app? Everything stays unlocked for you. Perfect for parents whose kids fill up the iPad with endless recordings, or anyone who wants to take control of their video storage.

Captions sell the video. Subtext gives you word-perfect, animated captions burned into your short-form clips — transcribed entirely on your iPhone, in seconds. No upload. No queue. No monthly bill. Free forever with unlimited exports — pay once to remove the watermark. WHY SUBTEXT • On-device transcription with word-level timing — your footage never leaves your phone • Choose the language spoken in your clip, and Subtext remembers it next time • Caption in a different language from the speech — translated on your device, not in the cloud • Bring your own .srt or .vtt subtitle file when you'd rather supply the text yourself • Import to styled export in under a minute, even on airplane mode • Three current caption looks: bold karaoke highlight, word-pop, and a clean line fade • A transcript-first editor built for the 90-second workflow: tap a word to fix it, hold to emphasize • Confidence review jumps you straight to the words worth checking • One-tap filler-word sweep removes every "um" from your captions • Platform safe-zone guides so captions never sit under the like button • Save your brand style once, apply it on every future clip in a tap • Burned-in export up to 4K, plus .srt / .vtt sidecar files PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. No account, no upload, no analytics on your content. PAY ONCE The full pipeline is free with unlimited exports — each carries a small Subtext watermark. Choosing your spoken language and importing a subtitle file are free too. A single one-time purchase removes the watermark and unlocks translated captions, style presets, filler sweep, and sidecar captions. No subscription, ever.
