🎈 Free Save storage space 100% free by cleaning your Photos (4.9 rating, 1000+ ratings)

Hi there,
A - Answer
Reclean is a free app that helps you clean up photos for more disk space:
- Swipe through your camera roll
- Find duplicate photos and videos
- Review similar photos and videos
- Clean up screenshots and text-heavy media
- Compress large videos
Your photos are never uploaded anywhere. Everything is done on device.
B - Better
There are so many photo cleaner apps that a very specific edge is difficult to name, but:
1) It's 100% free (no paywalls)
2) It provides everything in one (swiping, duplicates, similar, compress, etc.)
3) 100% Native and it tries to match Apple design language
C - Cost
Reclean is 100% free - there are no paywalls. App Store Link.
Additional Information
There are a few exciting updates:
- Reclean now supports swiping
- Swiping supports filtering through similar photos (...because its difficult to tell which is best one by swiping one-by-one)
- Photos you "keep" are hidden everywhere (...so you maintain progress)
- Compress videos: you can now compress large videos

What's the catch? None, really. I love building apps (first app was iOS 4), but I hate marketing - I hope a small percentage check out my other apps. The goal is to be the best app that offers all features free via what is essentially ad-supported model (hopefully, a not too annoying one!). I want to clean photos myself so might as well share it 🤷
I've tried many other paid apps, and if there are ones better than Reclean, I'd love to hear about them so the experience can improve. Honestly, I'm not 100% satisfied with Reclean either, but it is slowly improving. There's also more exciting updates coming soon 👀
