Photos Cleaner

Reclaim gigabytes in Apple Photos. It finds the screenshots, receipts, blurry shots and duplicates cluttering your library — then lets you clear them on your terms.

What it clears out

One scan sorts your whole library into four kinds of clutter — each in its own tab for quick review.

📸

Screenshots

Every screen capture, pulled straight from your library's metadata — the receipts of the digital world that pile up fast.

🧾

Receipts, Docs & Memes

Photos of receipts, forms, documents and memes — spotted on-device by Apple's Vision model, not your camera roll's keepers.

🌫️

Blurry & Dark

Out-of-focus, motion-blurred and accidental dark shots. A sensitivity dial lets you go gentle or aggressive — and well-shot photos are spared.

🖼️

Duplicates & Bursts

Near-identical shots and burst sequences, grouped together. It automatically keeps the sharpest, highest-resolution frame for you.

How it works

Three steps. You stay in control the whole way — nothing is ever deleted without you.

Scan

Open the app and hit Scan Library. It reads every photo on-device and sorts the clutter — usually in under a minute.

Review

Flip through the tabs and glance over what it flagged. Tap any photo to keep it. You decide what actually counts as junk.

Delete in Photos

Hit Add to review album. Your picks are stacked into albums inside Apple Photos, ready for you to delete whenever you like.

Private by design. Safe by default.

  • 100% on your Mac. Every photo is analyzed on-device with Apple's own frameworks. Nothing is uploaded, and there's no account, no sign-in, and no network access.
  • It never deletes anything. Photos Cleaner only tags candidates into review albums — the actual deleting happens in Apple Photos, by your hand, so you can never lose a photo you meant to keep.
  • Notarized by Apple. Signed with Browning PC's Developer ID and checked by Apple, so it opens cleanly with no scary warnings.
