I got fed up with photo cleaner apps that promise the world and deliver ads. Every one I tried was either packed with banners between every swipe, ran "scans" that felt more like stall tactics to push you into a subscription, or just didn't actually delete what it said it found. So I built the thing I actually wanted: swipe left to delete, right to keep. Smart Clean finds real duplicates and blurry shots no fake "27 issues found!" popups, no ads interrupting every action. Everything runs on-device, nothing gets uploaded anywhere. If you've been burned by one of those "cleaner" apps before, I'd love to hear what soured you on them genuinely shaped a lot of what I built here.
Love how it runs everything locally, that was the deciding factor for me. One thing that would make it even better for me is the ability to filter by date range before I start swiping, so I could tackle my recent trip photos separately from the old stuff in storage.
@canertaanux3r It'll always run locally — that's not changing, ever. Your photos never leave your phone, full stop. And yeah, that's a genuinely good idea — very doable too. I could see date range filtering fitting well in an upcoming version. Thanks for the suggestion, Caner
finally a cleaner that doesnt feel like a guessing game. smart clean actually flagged like 400 dupes and burst shots i had no idea were sitting there, and the whole swipe flow is genuinely kind of satisfying. love that it runs offline too.
@kcibr44600 400 is honestly a lot! That's exactly the moment I built Smart Clean for — most people have no idea how much of that "storage full" warning is just duplicate junk until they actually see the count. Really glad the swipe flow feels good, that was the part I iterated on most. Thanks for trying it out
