Pixelbroom is a fast, private photo cleaner for iPhone. It scans your photo library locally — nothing is uploaded — and surfaces: • Duplicate photos (exact and near-duplicates via on-device perceptual hashing) • Old screenshots that have been quietly filling your library • Blurry shots you forgot to delete • Photo bursts (10 near-identical shots in 2 seconds — pick the keeper) • The 100 biggest videos and Live Photos eating your storage You confirm every delete. iOS shows its own system dialog before anything is removed, so nothing disappears without your tap. PRIVACY-FIRST • 100% on-device. No cloud, no server, no telemetry. • No SDKs, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. • Sweep only sees photo metadata and downsized thumbnails — never uploads anything anywhere. PRO — one-time, $9.99 Free tier lets you delete up to 20 photos a week so you can try it. Pro removes that limit and unlocks smart suggestions (old screenshots, repeat-bursts across years). One purchase. Yours forever. No subscription. Built for iPhone 12 and newer. iOS 17+.

You can neatly organize your library of photos and videos. Find duplicate photos, similar photos, and large videos to reduce wasted storage space. Create a photo library that you can easily refer back to while preserving your precious memories. Piclyne is a photo/video cleaner app that brightly and easily supports organizing your photo library. You can check all duplicate photos, similar photos, screenshots, large videos, etc., and select and organize unnecessary ones. Since you can check the contents before deleting, you can reduce the worry of accidentally deleting the photos you want to keep. Photos and videos are processed on your device and are not uploaded externally. You can review your library with peace of mind while respecting your privacy. Main features ・Check for duplicate photos You can check all photos that look the same and choose which photos to keep and which to organize. ・Organize similar photos Makes it easier to find similar photos, such as continuous shots or photos taken from slightly different angles. ・Screenshot organization You can check the list of screenshots that tend to accumulate and quickly organize unnecessary ones. ・Check large capacity videos You can find videos that are using up space and use them to organize your storage. ・AI genre classification You can easily organize photos by genre, such as people, pets, food, documents, travel, etc. ・Confirm private candidates The in-device AI extracts potentially private photos and blurs them so you can safely check them. ・Check blurry photos Find out-of-focus photos and help you review your photo library. ・High image quality tools You can also use the high resolution feature to make the selected photo more visible. Piclyne does more than just free up space. I value being able to comfortably organize my photo library while checking for myself which ones to keep. Travel photos, photos of family and pets, screenshots from work, and videos that have suddenly increased in number. Why not organize the memories and records that increase every day to make them easier to view, search, and handle?
