Your camera roll is a mess. LemonClear makes fixing it feel like a game. Swipe left to delete, right to keep, up to favorite. Fly through your photos, videos, and screenshots in spare moments and watch your free space climb. NEW — CLEAN BY PLACE We all shoot hundreds of photos in the same spots: home, the office, family trip, or that music festival. LemonClear's PLACES mode groups your photos by where you took them, so you can tidy a whole location in one sitting instead of scrolling forever. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Swipe-to-clean — fast, satisfying, and genuinely fun • Three content types — photos, videos, screenshots, each in their own flow • Smart batches — bite-sized sets so cleaning never feels overwhelming • Tap-to-rescue review — see everything marked for deletion before it goes, rescue any with a tap • Space-freed tracker — watch the megabytes add up, with little milestone celebrations • Favorites & undo — keep the ones you love, take back a swipe anytime PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. LemonClear has no account, no servers, no ads, and no tracking. Your photos never leave your phone — we couldn't see them if we wanted to. HOW DELETING WORKS iOS asks you to confirm deletions, so LemonClear marks photos as you swipe and removes them all with a single confirmation at the end of each batch. Deleted items sit in Recently Deleted for 30 days, so nothing is ever truly gone by accident. Available in English and 简体中文. Tidy a little, feel a lot lighter. Start swiping.
