Purge scans your photo library on-device, groups the near-duplicates, and lets you swipe through the junk. No account. No uploads. Just a tidier library and a few gigabytes back.
Purge is narrow by design. It does one job — clearing out the clutter in your camera roll — and it does it fast.
On-device vision groups burst shots, almost-identical frames, and screenshots-of-screenshots so you can keep the best one and toss the rest.
Scanning, grouping, and analysis all happen locally using Apple's Vision framework. Your photos never touch a server.
A swipe-card deck for photos you're unsure about. Keep, trash, or favorite — then undo if you change your mind. It's satisfying.
Purge surfaces the kinds of photos you almost never want to keep — screenshots, documents, receipts, and out-of-focus frames — all as a separate pile.
A gentle streak counter rewards you for tidying a little each day. Tiers go from Paper all the way to Holographic. One forgiven day per week.
Fully localized out of the box. More languages on the way.
Grant photo access and Purge quietly scans your library in the background — thousands of photos per minute on modern iPhones.
Photos are grouped into daily decks. Tap to mark near-duplicates, swipe through unsure shots, let Purge pre-select the junk.
Send the trash pile to iOS's Recently Deleted in one tap. Photos wait there for 30 days — so you always have a safety net.
All scanning, grouping, and junk detection happens locally on your device. Purge never uploads, streams, or backs up your photos. The only thing we ever see is a small set of anonymous usage counters (things like "a scan finished" or "this many photos were removed") — never image data and never anything that identifies you.

Purge moves photos you mark into iOS's Recently Deleted album. iOS keeps them there for 30 days, so you can always recover anything you change your mind about. Nothing is hard-deleted by Purge itself.
No. All scanning and grouping runs locally using Apple's Vision framework. Your photos do not leave your device at any point.
We ask for full photo library access so Purge can both read your library (to group duplicates) and move items to Recently Deleted. You can revoke access at any time in Settings → Privacy → Photos.
Purge uses perceptual-hash + Vision-feature similarity to cluster look-alike photos. It favors grouping aggressively: you always get the final say with a swipe before anything is removed.
Not today. Purge is iOS-only for now — we wanted to get the experience right on one platform first.
See the App Store listing for current pricing. We keep pricing simple — no ads, no data selling, ever.
