TidyByte is the fastest, most private way to clean up your iPhone photo library — and it's completely free. TidyByte runs on iPhone, iPad, and iPhone Duo — and stays out of your way while it cleans. Tired of "Storage Almost Full"? TidyByte turns photo cleanup into something you'll actually finish. Swipe left to delete, swipe right to keep — review your whole library one photo at a time, just like a dating app, and reclaim gigabytes in minutes. Beyond swiping, TidyByte packs a full toolkit of smart cleanup tools that surface exactly what's wasting your space: exact and visual duplicates, near-identical similar shots, blurry or poorly-lit photos, screenshots, screen recordings, chat media saved by messaging apps, burst sequences, and your largest files. Convert Live Photos to stills and compress videos and photos to save even more — without deleting your memories. Your photos never leave your phone. TidyByte does 100% of its processing on-device using Apple's Vision and Photos frameworks, including a local AI search that finds photos from a plain-language description. There is no backend, no account or login, no ads, and no tracking of any kind. Nothing is uploaded, ever. TidyByte is free, with no in-app purchases and no paywalls. Every feature is available to everyone.

About

Follower Mirror

Features
Read full description

Follower Mirror analyzes lists of followers and accounts you follow from ZIP or JSON export files you explicitly select in the Files app. No Instagram login is required. The app does not authenticate with Instagram, access your account, request a password, use cookies or tokens, call private APIs, scrape data, automate account actions, or monitor accounts in real time. Follower Mirror is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Meta or Instagram. How it works: 1. Export your data through the source platform and save the ZIP or JSON file on your device. 2. Choose the file through the iOS Files picker. 3. The app processes the lists locally and shows results based only on the selected file contents. Results can include: - followers and accounts you follow listed in the imported file; - people you follow who do not follow you back; - people who follow you that you do not follow back; - new names in the latest export; - names from the previous export missing from the latest export. Missing from the latest export means only that the name does not appear in the latest imported file. The app does not identify the reason for absence, confirm an unfollow, or claim a live account state. The raw ZIP or JSON file is not kept after reading. The first import shows totals and a limited preview. Pro unlocks full lists, additional comparisons, history, metrics, hidden-profile controls, optional private iCloud sync for processed imports, monthly import reminders, and local CSV and HTML reports. Pro purchases are handled by Apple through StoreKit. You can delete one saved import or all local data in the app. Pro users can also remove processed imports from private iCloud storage.
