TidyByte vs Bytebye

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.

Your photo library fills up quietly. The same picture saved three times. A burst of forty near-identical shots. Screenshots you needed once. Blurry photos you never got around to deleting. Bytebye finds them and shows how much space they take up — before you pay anything. WHAT IT FINDS • Exact duplicates — the same photo saved more than once • Similar photos — burst shots and near-identical takes • Screenshots — all of them, except your Favorites • Blurry photos — out-of-focus and shaky shots • Screen recordings — clips you captured and no longer need • Similar videos — near-identical takes of the same moment • Large videos — anything over 100 MB, biggest first SWIPE, MONTH BY MONTH Pick any month of your library and swipe through it: left to delete, right to keep. Undo takes back your last swipe. Long-press any item to see it full screen — zoom into photos, play videos. ONE PHOTO ALWAYS STAYS In every duplicate or similar group one shot stays, and it cannot be selected for deletion. If you marked a photo as a Favorite, that one stays. Otherwise Bytebye keeps the sharpest shot; among equally sharp ones the highest resolution, then the oldest. You can hand the role to another shot whenever you disagree. Favorites are never suggested for deletion in the screenshot, blurry, screen recording or large video lists. YOUR PHOTOS NEVER LEAVE YOUR PHONE There is no server, no account and no upload. Every scan runs on your device, and your photos are never sent anywhere. The free version shows ads through Google AdMob, which receives the device data ads need, and your advertising identifier only if you allow tracking. With Bytebye Premium there are no ads and no ad data. Deleted items go to Recently Deleted, where your phone keeps them for 30 days. HONEST PRICING The scan is always free — you see the full result and the size of every category before deciding anything. No weekly plan. No hidden trial charges. Pay once, or pay yearly. SUBSCRIPTION AND TERMS The yearly Bytebye Premium subscription renews automatically every year unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings at any time. The one-time purchase is not a subscription and nothing renews.
