Bytesweep - Phone Cleaner

Bytesweep finds what is actually taking up space on your iPhone, and tells you the truth about what deleting it will get you back. WHAT IT FINDS • Similar photos — near-identical frames, grouped, sharpest one kept • Exact duplicates — the same image saved twice • Burst sequences — holding the shutter down makes thirty frames of one moment. iOS files twenty-nine of them out of sight. This is the only place you can see them. • Large videos — biggest first • Videos worth shrinking — same footage, same resolution, a better codec, no deleting • Cinematic and slow motion — the heaviest things an iPhone camera makes • Screen recordings and panoramas • Screenshots — sorted by what is in them: receipts, tickets and codes, people, everything else • Saved by other apps — the copies WhatsApp, Telegram and Instagram left in your library • Blurry and too-dark shots • Live Photos and RAW+JPEG pairs — the spare half, not the photo • Files, in folders you share with it Filter any of it by size or by date, so a thousand screenshots becomes the forty that are over 10 MB and older than a year. PLACES Every photograph you have taken, grouped by where you took it. Nothing else on the phone will show you the four hundred frames from one trip together, which turns clearing a holiday into one decision instead of four hundred. Nothing here is ever marked for you — a trip is not rubbish because it is a trip. HIDDEN PHOTOS Move photographs out of your library into an encrypted store on this iPhone, opened with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. Three things are said plainly before anything goes in: the original sits in Recently Deleted for thirty days, the vault does not move to a new iPhone, and deleting the app destroys it. Photographs only for now. EXPORT Copy what you have marked to a drive plugged into your iPhone, to iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive, or to your own folder for dragging off in Finder. Every file is checked after it is written. Copying frees nothing on its own and the app says so — the space comes back when you delete the originals afterwards. CALENDAR Events that passed long ago, the same appointment saved twice, invitations you declined, and subscription feeds you did not mean to add. A calendar has no Recently Deleted, so nothing is ever marked for you and the warning is the first thing on the screen. THE HONEST PART If your photos are optimised for iCloud, a 12 MB photo might be 200 KB on this iPhone. Deleting it frees 200 KB here and removes it from every device you own. Bytesweep shows both numbers before you delete anything. Other cleaners show you the 12 MB. After a delete it reads your actual free space and reconciles: what was removed, what came back, and why the two differ. Everything goes to Recently Deleted, where iOS keeps it for 30 days — and Bytesweep keeps count of what is still sitting there, because until that album is emptied the space has not come back. Before a bulk delete it checks for faces, so it can tell you whether there are people in what you are about to remove. Your Favourites are protected out of the box. WHAT IT CANNOT DO It cannot clear other apps' caches, "System Data", or storage used by Messages, Safari or Mail. No app on iOS can — there is no API for it, and any app claiming otherwise is counting something else. Bytesweep shows you where that space is and measures what you free when you go and clear it yourself. PRICE Scanning is free forever — every category, every figure, no limits and no teaser. Deleting, shrinking, hiding and exporting are a single one-time purchase. No subscription, no renewal, no weekly billing, and no free trial that turns into a charge you forgot about. PRIVACY Everything happens on your iPhone. Bytesweep has no server and no account, and makes no network request of any kind. Nothing about your photos, your calendar or anything else ever leaves the device.
