CloudSweep finds duplicate photos, videos and files on your device and across your clouds, then helps you clear the extra copies safely. CONNECT YOUR STORAGE â€Ē iPhone & iPad Photos library (works with iCloud Photos) â€Ē iCloud Drive â€Ē OneDrive â€Ē Google Photos: scan a Takeout export â€Ē Amazon Photos: scan your downloaded library FIND EVERY DUPLICATE â€Ē Exact matching by checksum: byte-identical copies within and across sources â€Ē Visually similar matching: re-encoded, edited or resized copies, matched entirely on your device â€Ē One shared index: scan each source once and CloudSweep finds duplicates inside every source AND across them CLEAN UP SAFELY â€Ē Every removal goes to a recoverable trash (about 30 days), never permanent â€Ē At least one copy of a file always survives â€Ē Copies are re-verified before deleting, so a file that changed since your scan is never touched â€Ē Imported libraries (Google Photos Takeout, Amazon Photos) are copies of your originals, so CloudSweep guides you to the original and verifies your cleanup instead of pretending MOVE BETWEEN CLOUDS â€Ē Bring photos and videos from OneDrive, a Google Photos export or an Amazon Photos folder into your Photos library, or back up your Photos library to your iCloud Drive folder â€Ē Every copy is written at original quality, read back and compared byte for byte before it counts â€Ē Nothing leaves the source until you confirm the cleanup afterwards, and originals then go to a recoverable trash PRIVATE BY DESIGN â€Ē All duplicate matching runs on your device â€Ē No accounts on our side, no analytics, no tracking â€Ē Sign-in tokens live only in your device Keychain â€Ē Your files never touch our servers FREE & PREMIUM Scanning and reviewing duplicates are free forever, with 10 removals included.

Is your Downloads folder a disaster? iCloud Drive cluttered with random files? FileSort is the automatic file organizer your iPhone has been waiting for. Unlike traditional file managers that only let you browse, FileSort actively sorts your files for you. Open the app, see the mess, tap once, and watch everything fall into place. KEY FEATURES - ONE-TAP SMART SORT Scan any folder and let FileSort automatically organize files by type -- documents, images, videos, archives, audio, and code. No setup required. Just tap Sort Now. - CUSTOM RULES ENGINE Create powerful rules without writing a single line of code. Set conditions like "if file type is PDF and size is over 5MB, move to Work/Contracts." Drag to reorder priority. First match wins. - DUPLICATE FILE DETECTION Reclaim wasted storage by finding and removing duplicate files. FileSort uses SHA-256 hashing for accurate detection, so you never accidentally delete the wrong file. - FULL UNDO HISTORY Changed your mind? No problem. Undo any sort batch with a single tap. Every move is reversible, so you can sort with confidence. - SORT PREVIEW See exactly what will happen before it happens. Review every file move, spot conflicts, and adjust before executing. No surprises. - HOME SCREEN WIDGET Add the FileSort widget to see your messy file count at a glance and trigger a sort right from your home screen. - SIRI SHORTCUTS Automate your file organization with Shortcuts. Create workflows that sort files on a schedule or trigger sorting with your voice. - iCLOUD DRIVE INTEGRATION Deep integration with iCloud Drive means your files stay in sync across all your Apple devices. Sort once, see it everywhere. - CELEBRATION & STATS Watch a satisfying celebration animation when your sort completes. See detailed stats on how many files were organized and how much space was reclaimed. FREE VS PREMIUM Free tier includes unlimited scanning, one-tap basic sort, sort preview, and one undo batch. Upgrade to Premium for unlimited custom rules, duplicate detection, home screen widget, Siri Shortcuts, unlimited undo history, and iCloud Drive deep integration.
