Sameish finds the photos, videos and files you have more than one of, shows you what they're costing you, and helps you clear them — without anything leaving your iPhone. Scan once, and it sorts your clutter into three kinds: IDENTICAL COPIES The same photo, video or file saved more than once. Matched byte for byte, so a match is never a guess — keeping any one of them keeps exactly the same thing. LOOK-ALIKES Burst shots, the same pose taken four times, a screenshot you took twice, a video that was re-sent and re-compressed. These differ in their bytes, so Sameish compares them by how they look instead. Choose how strict matching should be: Strict, Balanced or Loose. BLURRY SHOTS Single photos that came out shaken or out of focus, sorted worst first — the ones you would never choose to keep. FILES TOO Add a folder — Downloads, Documents, anything in the Files app — and Sameish scans it for exact copies of any file type. It only ever sees the folders you choose. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE No account. No uploads. No ads. No analytics. Every comparison happens on your iPhone. Photos stored only in iCloud are skipped and counted, never downloaded behind your back. YOU DECIDE WHAT GOES Nothing is deleted until you confirm it. Every group suggests the best copy to keep, and warns you if you've selected every copy. Photos and videos go to Recently Deleted, where iOS keeps them for 30 days. Files have no Recently Deleted, and Sameish tells you so before you delete them. WHAT'S FREE • Every scan finds all three kinds and tells you how much space each is worth • Delete identical copies, one group at a time • Open the two biggest look-alike groups of each kind, and clear them once • Look through your blurry shots and delete two of them WHAT PREMIUM ADDS • See and delete every look-alike photo and video group • See and delete every blurry shot, worst first • Select the extra copies in every group in one step • Optionally download photos and videos kept only in iCloud, so they can be compared too Premium is available as a yearly subscription or as a one-time purchase that never renews. The yearly subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings.
