Secure Cloud Home vs PicDeDupe

Back up your photos, videos and files to your own computer over Wi-Fi and keep them in sync across your devices. Secure Cloud Home is a private cloud that lives in your home, not on someone else's servers. All you need is a computer on the same Wi-Fi running the free Secure Cloud Home desktop app for Mac, Windows or Linux. No cloud subscription, no storage plan, no file size limit. ▸ AUTOMATIC PHOTO BACKUP New photos and videos are backed up to your PC automatically whenever your phone is on your home Wi-Fi. Choose which albums to back up, then free up phone storage by removing the copies that are already safe on your computer. Your photo backup stays browsable in a fast gallery with a full-screen viewer and a built-in video player. ▸ WIFI FILE TRANSFER AND SYNC Transfer files between phone and computer without cables, USB or email. Folders sync both ways, so a document saved on your laptop appears on your phone. Upload, download, create folders, colour-code them and open files in any other app. Large videos and archives transfer at full Wi-Fi speed. ▸ PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your files travel only inside your local Wi-Fi network and are stored encrypted with AES-256-GCM on your own computer. No third-party cloud ever sees them. Lock sensitive folders with a 4-digit PIN, and the app only connects to a computer it already trusts. ▸ NO SETUP Phones and computers on the same network find each other automatically. No IP addresses, no port forwarding, no NAS to configure. Install the desktop app, sign in on both devices and your personal cloud is ready in a minute. ▸ YOUR CLOUD, YOUR RULES Keep files on the computer only, or on both computer and phone. Light and dark themes, accent colours and 11 languages. ▸ GOOD TO KNOW Secure Cloud Home is free and shows ads; you can watch a short video for ad-free time. Signing in with the same account on your phone and computer pairs them securely. Backup, file transfer and sync work while both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Find duplicate photos, choose the shots to keep, and reclaim storage without uploading your library. PicDeDupe analyzes photos privately on your device and keeps you in control before anything is removed. SMART DUPLICATE CLEANUP • Find duplicate and visually similar still photos. • Apple Vision verifies scan results on device for both Free and Pro. • Review recommended keepers using sharpness, exposure, visual quality, resolution, favorites, and your preferences. • Change the keeper before cleanup. • Choose Strict, Normal, or Loose matching sensitivity. • Videos, bursts, and Live Photos have separate cleanup screens. MORE WAYS TO RECLAIM SPACE • Review large videos sorted by size. • Review screenshots and burst sequences in focused cleanup screens. • Burst recommendations prioritize your picks and favorites, then assessed image quality. • Identify likely blurry photos among your most recent 300 photos. • Review Live Photos, with a clear reminder that deleting one removes both its still image and motion clip. • Track estimated storage savings and cleanup progress in Insights. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Duplicate comparison, Apple Vision verification, and keeper analysis run on your device. Your photos are not uploaded. No account is required, and the app contains no ads or third-party tracking SDKs. Cleanup summaries report the scan's counts and estimated savings. REVIEW BEFORE REMOVING You review the selected items before deletion, and Photos asks for confirmation. Deleted items move to Recently Deleted. With iCloud Photos enabled, deletion also syncs to iCloud and your other devices. Storage estimates can differ from space immediately available on your device. FREE AND PRO Free includes one successful duplicate scan per day with the same Apple Vision verification as Pro, access to the three highest-value duplicate sets, and manual review. A scan with no duplicate groups does not use your daily allowance. PicDeDupe Pro adds: • Unlimited scans and every duplicate set • Smart Clean and bulk review • Advanced keeper preferences and explanations • More frequent background checks • Blurry and Live Photo cleanup • Keeper recommendation export Pro is available through Weekly and Yearly auto-renewable subscriptions or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel them in your Apple Account subscription settings.
