Paying for space you don't need
The average phone holds around 2,000 photos. A lot of them are the same photo.
154
Duplicate photos on the average phone
86
Screenshots, saved and forgotten
600MB+
Lost to duplicates and low-quality shots alone
59%
Of iPhone owners pay for iCloud
Most of that lands in iCloud, and 71% of people paying for cloud storage say photos are what fills it. The smallest iCloud plan costs several times more per gigabyte than the largest, so the cheap tier fills fast and the upgrade does the rest. Clearing the duplicates is cheaper than renting room for them.
Photo, duplicate and screenshot averages: Avast. Cloud storage figures: CIRP.

One kind at a time, instead of scrolling through everything.
Screenshots
Saved once, never opened again.

Camera Roll copies of what is still in the chat.
Screen Recordings
Screen video, far bigger than it looks.
Duplicates
Near-identical shots, grouped so you keep one.

Large Videos
Your heaviest videos, biggest first.

Drop the hidden video, keep the picture.
Downloaded
Saved from somewhere else, not taken here.
Two places to look
Your photo library
Where the space actually went. Every category says how it was found — exact, or a best guess.
A folder of your choosing
The big files in any folder you pick, by kind and by size — the downloads and documents a photo app never sees.
Nothing leaves your device
Sweep reads your library on device. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is shared, and nothing is deleted unless you choose it — and what you delete waits in Recently Deleted, the same as in the Photos app.
Try it before it ships
The beta is open now. New builds land on your phone the day they are ready, well before Sweep reaches the App Store.
