Your camera roll is full of copies you never meant to keep — burst shots, near-identical selfies, re-saved screenshots, forwarded videos. Deduply finds them all, picks the best one to keep, and clears the rest so you get your storage back. Every scan runs on your iPhone. Nothing is ever uploaded. FIND EVERY DUPLICATE & LOOK-ALIKE Deduply scans your entire library and groups it two ways: exact duplicates that are 100% safe to remove, and look-alike photos and videos — the burst shots and near-misses you take three of and only need one. Photos and videos both, with a tap to filter between them. KEEP THE BEST, DELETE THE REST For every group, Deduply automatically suggests the best version to keep so you don't have to compare frame by frame. Review a group in one screen, change the keeper if you disagree, and remove the rest in a single tap. SEE EXACTLY HOW MUCH YOU SAVE A live count shows the space you can reclaim before you delete anything, and a running total tracks every gigabyte you've already freed. Cleaning your library finally feels rewarding instead of tedious. CLEAN UP IN BATCHES Select whole sections at once and clear hundreds of duplicates in seconds. The largest space-savers float to the top, so you free the most storage with the least effort. 100% ON-DEVICE, ALWAYS PRIVATE All scanning and matching happen on your iPhone using Apple's own frameworks. Your photos and videos never leave your device, there's no account to create, no ads, and no tracking. SAFE BY DESIGN Deduply never deletes anything permanently. Removed items go to your Photos "Recently Deleted" album, where iOS keeps them for 30 days — so you're always in control and can recover anything you change your mind about. WHY DEDUPLY • Finds exact duplicates and similar photos and videos • Auto-picks the best copy to keep in every group • Live reclaimable-space counter and lifetime savings tracker • Fast batch selection and one-tap cleanup • 100% on-device — nothing is uploaded • No account, no ads, no tracking • Safe deletes via Recently Deleted (recoverable for 30 days) • Designed for iOS — fast, private, beautiful For everyone whose photo library has outgrown their storage — reclaim your space in minutes, keep only the shots that matter, and never pay for an iCloud upgrade you didn't need. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Deduply is free to download and includes a limited number of free cleanups so you can try it risk-free. Deduply PRO unlocks unlimited cleanups and batch delete with one of two auto-renewing subscriptions: • Yearly: $39.99 USD / year, with a 3-day free trial.

Find duplicate photos and videos in Apple Photos, plus identical documents in folders you choose. Choose what stays, review every removal, and clean up with an on-device scan. SEE WHAT MATCHES Verified duplicates are matched from their original file data. Possible duplicates and similar photos are labeled separately, so you know which groups need a closer look. Compare retakes and lookalikes without treating them as identical copies. CHOOSE WHAT STAYS Review one group at a time or compare up to 10 groups together. Each group marks a keeper. Tap a photo to inspect it, choose a different keeper, or keep everything. Batch review starts with nothing selected. Choose copies individually, or use Select verified copies to stage verified matches on the current page. Possible duplicates and similar photos remain yours to select. CONFIRM BEFORE REMOVING Review your selection and item count before removal. Apple Photos asks for your confirmation before selected photos or videos move to Recently Deleted. Scanning never deletes anything. FREE TO EXPLORE Scanning and viewing results are free. Your first 10 individual item removals are included, whether you remove them one at a time or together. This is one shared allowance across cleanup tools, not 10 groups or a recurring monthly limit. An optional one-time in-app purchase unlocks further removals. No subscription. Restore the purchase with the same Apple Account. PRIVATE ON YOUR IPHONE Photo matching, screenshot text recognition and document comparisons run on device. No account, ads or app analytics. We do not receive your photo library or documents. Apple's iCloud services and your chosen file providers follow your own settings. MORE WAYS TO SORT Find old screenshots and save their text as searchable cards. Spot large photos and videos, or use Shrink to create a smaller copy for comparison. Find identical documents in the Files folders you choose. Photos in Recently Deleted are recoverable for up to 30 days unless permanently removed sooner. Storage may not become available immediately. Document recovery depends on the file provider.
