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.

CLEANR AI

CLEANR AI is your phone's memory curator - powered by AI, built for people who take too many photos and never have time to clean them up. Your camera roll is a garden. Some photos are roses. Most are weeds. CLEANR AI knows the difference. HOW IT WORKS Every photo in your library gets a Memory Score from 0-100. CLEANR AI analyses sharpness, uniqueness, recency, and composition to surface your best shots and flag the rest for cleaning. THREE WAYS TO CLEAN SWIPE MODE The fastest way to clean. Cards stack like a deck - swipe left to delete, right to keep. Gobbler and Guardian react to every decision. Each session takes 60 seconds. Each swipe earns points. AI QUICK CLEAN Let the AI decide. CLEANR scans for duplicate bursts, blurry shots, and low-quality photos - then automatically keeps the best from each group and queues the rest for removal. One tap, done. SMART SEARCH Find exactly what's cluttering your library. Browse by type - Screenshots, Duplicates, Large Files, Blurry photos - and clean category by category. MEMORY VAULT Your best photos, curated by AI and ranked by Memory Score. The Vault surfaces the shots worth keeping - organised by This Month and This Year, with pinch-to-zoom grid browsing. Videos get their own tab with duration, size, and one-tap access to iOS Photos. GOBBLER VS GUARDIAN CLEANR AI has two mascots with one job: make cleaning fun. Gobbler (the chomper) reacts every time you delete - mouth opens, particles fly, storage freed. Guardian (the keeper) glows every time you keep a high-value memory. After each session, share your stats - how many photos Gobbler feasted on, how much storage you freed. GAMIFICATION - Points: earn 1 point per deleted photo - Streaks: clean every day to build your streak - Player titles: from Beginner Cleaner to AI Memory Master (1,000+ pts) - Session summary: shareable card with your full session stats PRIVACY FIRST Everything happens on your device. Your photos never leave your phone. No uploads. No cloud processing. No account required. CLEANR AI uses Apple's native photo library API - read-only, on-device, private. WHAT CLEANR AI FINDS - Duplicate and burst photos (near-identical shots taken within seconds) - Blurry and out-of-focus photos - Screenshots and screen recordings - Low-quality and small-file photos - Large files eating your storage Start your first clean in under 30 seconds.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CLEANR AI at none against PicDeDupe's 3. CLEANR AI also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). PicDeDupe's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
