Finds the clutter
Screenshots, documents, receipts, whiteboards, cards, and more — grouped into piles, so a full library becomes a short list of decisions.
Get your gigabytes back.
Cleanroom clears the screenshots, receipts and duplicates you don't need, shrinks your biggest videos on your phone's own chip, and seals anything private in the Keep. Your photos never leave your phone.

What a typical cluttered library gives back.
An illustration, not a promise. On your phone, Cleanroom only ever shows what it actually measured in your own library — it never invents a number.
Where the space went
Three ways your storage comes back.
Nothing here is magic. It's the same three piles in almost every library — and Cleanroom weighs each of them in plain gigabytes before you touch a thing.
01 · Clear
The easy deletions
Screenshots, receipts, documents, whiteboards — the photos you took to remember something and never opened again.
02 · Dedupe
The copies of copies
Exact duplicates and near-duplicates — burst shots, re-saves, small edits. Nine near-identical frames of the same sunset become one.
03 · Shrink
The video, halved
Big videos are the single largest bucket of wasted space. Re-encoded to HEVC on your phone — the video stays, the gigabytes don't.
The cleanup
The easy photos to delete, cleared in minutes.
Cleanroom sorts a whole library into piles, tells you what each pile costs in storage, and turns the whole thing into a short list of swipes.
Sort
Duplicates
Copies you didn't know you had
Exact duplicates, plus near-duplicates — burst shots, re-saves, and slightly-edited repeats — found automatically, not just byte-for-byte matches.
Fast Review
One photo, one decision
Swipe through each pile one photo at a time — keep, clear, or send it to the Keep. Nothing is deleted until you confirm the whole batch, and cleared photos pass through Recently Deleted.
Reclaim
Wins back the gigabytes
See what each pile actually costs in storage before you touch it — screenshots, duplicates, oversized video, all weighed in plain gigabytes.
Measure
Never guesses at you
Every flag says what was detected and how sure the detection is. An exact duplicate is "certain"; a maybe is a maybe. Cleanroom reports what it measured — it never invents a number.
Everywhere
iPhone and iPad, properly
One universal app that adapts to the screen it's on — not a stretched-out phone layout. iPhone stays portrait; iPad rotates freely.
Video compression
Watch a gigabyte disappear. The video stays.
Cleanroom re-encodes your biggest videos to HEVC entirely on your phone's own chip — then measures the file before and after, so the saving you see is the saving you got.

Encode, verify, then swap.
A crash can duplicate a file. It can never lose one. Cleanroom writes the smaller copy, confirms it actually plays back, and only then offers to replace the original — and only if you asked it to.
- On your chip. Nothing is uploaded to make it smaller. There is no server to upload it to.
- Measured, not estimated. Bytes before, bytes after. The number is the truth.
- Keep the original, or don't. Your call, every time — and the smaller copy lands back in Photos either way.
Two rooms
Cool where it works. Plum where it keeps.
The app is a cleanroom — clinical, precise, blue-grey — until you open the Keep. Then the whole room changes colour, so you always know which one you're standing in.

The Keep
Some photos aren't clutter. They're sealed.
Move them into the Keep — a vault encrypted with AES-256-GCM on your iPhone or iPad, opened with Face ID, a passcode, or a PIN. Not hidden in a folder. Encrypted, in place, on the device.
- Cipher
- AES-256-GCM
- Key
- Keychain, this device only
- Unlock
- Face ID / passcode / PIN
- You decide what's private. Cleanroom flags photos you might want out of the open grid — the category is called Sensitive, and it decides nothing on your behalf.
- Encrypted, not just hidden. Every file is authenticated as well as encrypted, in 4 MB chunks, and written only after it has been verified to decrypt. There is no recovery server, because Cleanroom runs no servers of its own.
- Yours forever, paid or not. The Keep never charges rent. What you put inside stays viewable and exportable for as long as you have the app — whether or not you ever spend a cent.
The honest part: the Keep is excluded from iCloud and local backups, and its key never leaves this phone. That's what makes it private — and it means that if you lose, erase, or replace the phone, its contents are gone for good. No backup can bring them back. Export anything irreplaceable to Photos before you switch phones. The app says this too, before you put a single photo in.

Large videos
Duplicates means near-duplicates too — burst shots, re-saves, and small edits, not just exact copies. The solid square is the Keep — Sensitive photos can go there instead of the trash. Everything else is just clutter, and Cleanroom only ever suggests. Nothing moves or deletes without you.
Why you can trust the numbers
Every gigabyte you get back is measured on your device — because everything happens on your device.
Every scan and every compression runs on your iPhone or iPad's own chip — no photo is ever uploaded, and there's no account to create or cloud to sync. The only network calls the app makes are non-photo ones: an ad request to Google (which never sees a photo), your own iCloud originals downloading if you use iCloud Photos, and the App Store purchase check. The one-time unlock removes the ad, so you can make the app go quiet.
- Scans on-device
- No account, no sign-up
- No analytics on your photos
- 16 languages
Pricing
