Hi Product Hunt 👋 I’m Roberto, a software architect and indie maker building small, focused tools under Foundry. I built Metadata Cleaner after realizing how much private information can travel with an ordinary photo or video: precise location, device and camera details, capture dates, and more. Many metadata cleaners are web utilities, focus only on JPEGs, or sit outside the way people actually share files from Apple devices. I wanted something native, private, and simple enough to use every time, not just when you remember to visit a website. Metadata Cleaner is a local-first app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It lets you inspect a file, remove private metadata, and create a clean copy before sharing it. What’s included: • JPEG, PNG, HEIC, PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, MP3, M4A, MOV and MP4 support • Photos, Files, the iOS Share Sheet, and a native Mac app • On-device processing — your files are never uploaded • No account, no tracking, and no subscription • One purchase across iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Family Sharing For launch week, the one-time unlock is 33% off with code PRODUCTHUNT. The redemption link is available on the product page. I’d especially value feedback on two things: whether the app explains the privacy risk clearly without being alarmist, and which formats or sharing workflows you’d most like to see supported next. Thanks for taking a look. I’ll be here throughout the day to answer questions.
