Pixelbroom is a fast, private photo cleaner for iPhone. It scans your photo library locally โ€” nothing is uploaded โ€” and surfaces: โ€ข Duplicate photos (exact and near-duplicates via on-device perceptual hashing) โ€ข Old screenshots that have been quietly filling your library โ€ข Blurry shots you forgot to delete โ€ข Photo bursts (10 near-identical shots in 2 seconds โ€” pick the keeper) โ€ข The 100 biggest videos and Live Photos eating your storage You confirm every delete. iOS shows its own system dialog before anything is removed, so nothing disappears without your tap. PRIVACY-FIRST โ€ข 100% on-device. No cloud, no server, no telemetry. โ€ข No SDKs, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. โ€ข Sweep only sees photo metadata and downsized thumbnails โ€” never uploads anything anywhere. PRO โ€” one-time, $9.99 Free tier lets you delete up to 20 photos a week so you can try it. Pro removes that limit and unlocks smart suggestions (old screenshots, repeat-bursts across years). One purchase. Yours forever. No subscription. Built for iPhone 12 and newer. iOS 17+.
