Trimbyte
Read full descriptionHide full description
Trimbyte shows you where your storage actually went — and clears what you don't need, without ever touching the internet. Most "cleaner" apps make scary claims and run on subscriptions. Trimbyte doesn't. It does one job honestly: it maps your photo, video, and file library so the space hogs are obvious, then lets you remove them with full control. SEE YOUR STORAGE, CLEARLY A simple, proportional map of your library — the biggest categories are literally the biggest blocks. Tap one to dig in. FIND WHAT'S SAFE TO CLEAR • Exact duplicates — byte-identical copies • Similar shots & bursts — keep the best, drop the rest • Similar videos — near-duplicate clips, grouped automatically • Low-quality photos — blurry, dark, or accidental shots • Large videos — usually the single biggest win • Screenshots & screen recordings • Memes & text images • Files & folders — scan iCloud Drive, Downloads, or any folder you pick NEW IN VERSION 2 • Swipe to clean — go card by card, keep what you love, queue the rest • Compress videos — HEVC re-encode to 1080p or 720p; album membership preserved • Export before deleting — save to Files first, then remove from Photos • Live Photo to Still — drop the video layer, keep the shot (~3 MB saved each) • On This Day — photos from this date in past years, easy to review and clear • Home screen widget — reclaimable total at a glance, no need to open the app • Background scan — a tap-to-rescan banner appears when your library changes while you're away YOU'RE ALWAYS IN CONTROL Nothing is auto-selected and nothing is auto-deleted. You tap what to remove, preview anything full-screen, and confirm. Deletions follow iOS's standard 30-day Recently Deleted safety net — and Trimbyte tells you that plainly instead of pretending the space is gone. HONEST ABOUT WHAT AN APP CAN DO Trimbyte cleans your photos, videos, and folders you pick. iOS does not let any app touch other apps' data or "system junk" — so we don't pretend to. No app can. Anyone claiming otherwise isn't being straight with you. TRULY PRIVATE 100% on-device. No account. No servers. No tracking. No ads. No networking code at all — your library physically cannot leave your phone. FAIR PRICING Free forever: full scan, the whole map, and unlimited Exact-Duplicate cleanup. Deleting items one at a time is always free in every category. One optional payment of $9.99 — lifetime, no subscription — unlocks bulk cleanup everywhere. That's it. © 2026 Eran Karilka.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: DNS Button at every 3 days against Trimbyte's every 9 days. DNS Button also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Trimbyte's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
