100% On-Device AI — Nothing Leaves Your Phone and works Offline. Your iPhone says storage is full — but you don't want to delete your memories. The problem isn't your photos. It's the hundreds of duplicates, blurry shots, forgotten screenshots, and oversized videos hiding behind them. Clean Up Storage finds the junk and keeps the memories — entirely on your device. No cloud. No uploads. No account required. Everything runs offline. Unlike other photo cleaners that upload your images to remote servers, Clean Up Storage runs all scanning and AI analysis locally using Apple's on-device frameworks. Your photos are never sent anywhere. No internet connection is needed. No account to create. No data collected. Your library is yours alone. How It Works Tap Scan. The app analyzes your entire photo library on-device in seconds to find: • Exact and near-duplicate photos • Blurry and out-of-focus shots • Old screenshots you forgot about • Oversized videos that can be compressed • Live Photos with hidden video eating space • WhatsApp media cluttering your library For every duplicate group, on-device AI picks the best photo — based on sharpness, resolution, exposure, and face quality — so you always keep the right one. No photo ever leaves your phone during this process. Smart Clean — Reclaim Storage in One Tap Don't want to review everything manually? Smart Clean bundles all duplicates, blurry photos, and screenshots older than 30 days into a single cleanup recommendation. See exactly how much space you'll recover, toggle categories on or off, and clean with one tap. Deleted items go to Recently Deleted first — nothing is lost permanently. Duplicate Photo Finder Find exact and near-duplicate photos across your entire library. Review them side by side, see why the app picked the best shot, and remove the rest. Groups are sorted by space savings so you tackle the biggest wins first. Blurry Photo Detection Automatically surfaces out-of-focus and blurry photos hiding in your camera roll. Review them in a grid and remove the ones you'll never use. AI Photo Categories Photos are automatically sorted into smart categories — People, Travel, Food, Pets, Nature, Architecture, Documents, Transport, and more — all classified on-device so you can browse and clean up by topic. Video Compression Compress large videos without losing them. Three quality levels: • Optimal — HEVC encoding, minimal quality loss, up to 4K • Medium — capped at 1080p for balanced savings • Maximum — capped at 720p for the most space recovered Compression happens locally on your device. Delete the original after to free storage instantly. Screenshot Cleanup Screenshots pile up fast. They're grouped by age — last 7 days, 30 days, and older — so you can select and delete old ones in bulk. Live Photo Conversion Convert Live Photos to still images to remove the hidden video component eating extra space. Original creation date, location, and metadata are preserved. WhatsApp Media Cleaner Find and remove photos and videos auto-saved from WhatsApp that are quietly filling your storage. Storage Dashboard & Widgets See total, used, and available storage at a glance. A visual breakdown shows how much space photos, videos, screenshots, and Live Photos are using. Add widgets to your Home Screen or Lock Screen to monitor space without opening the app. Siri Shortcuts Ask Siri to check your storage, scan for duplicates, or start a Smart Clean — completely hands-free. Works with the Shortcuts app for custom automations. Why Choose Clean Up Storage? • Works completely offline — no internet required • Zero data collection — no analytics, no tracking • No account or sign-up needed • All AI runs on Apple's on-device frameworks • Photos never leave your device — ever • Works on iPhone and iPad Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://cleankit.pages.dev/privacy
