PixBox treats your photo library like a file system. Batch-select, organize, dedupe, compress, zip, and share photos & videos like files on your computer. One-time purchase — no subscription, no ads, on-device.
Hi PH! I'm the maker of PixBox.
For months my phone kept telling me "Storage Almost Full," and every photo cleaner I tried made me do the same thing: swipe through photos ONE. AT. A. TIME. Ten thousand photos, ten thousand swipes.
So I stopped and asked a dumber question: why do I have to "review" my own photos at all? A folder is just a tag. A tag is just a folder. Photo "cleaning" is really just... file management. And the best file manager ever made is the Finder.
PixBox is the result: a file manager for your photo library.
The AI you'd expect is there — face grouping, 28 scene tags, location browsing, all on-device. But AI only solves the "find" half. The tedious half is "processing": deciding, moving, deleting, compressing. So PixBox puts the AI in the background and puts batch operations front and center:
- Select once, act on hundreds (delete, move, tag, compress, share in batches)
- Real nested folders — cut, copy, paste, zip (keeping folder structure)
- Duplicate detection + batch compression to reclaim space
But here's the part that surprised me most while researching the competition. Photo cleaners fail in exactly two ways: either they delete too much (people lose wedding photos and cat videos), or they lie about deleting (photos are "gone" but still there). So PixBox does neither: you approve every delete, and we're honest that deletes go to Recently Deleted. Nothing disappears without your say-so.
And the pricing: one-time purchase. FREE for launch week, $4.98 after. The swipe-based cleaners I tested charge $9.99–$11 a WEEK — that's over $500 a year, for the privilege of swiping. PixBox is less than one week of that, forever. No subscription, no ads, no account (we don't even ask your age or gender), no tracking.
Would love your honest feedback — especially if you're someone with 10k+ photos and storage anxiety. What's the most tedious part of managing your library today?
