Scratchy finds duplicates, similar shots, blurry photos and giant videos, then keeps the best of every moment. All of it happens privately, right on your iPhone.

Free to download. Requires iOS 26.
- Analyzed on your iPhone
- Nothing is uploaded
- Deleted only after you confirm
Everything clutter, cleared.
One app for the photos you don’t need, the videos that eat your storage and the privacy settings you keep putting off.
Keep the best shot
Similar photos are grouped and the sharpest, best-exposed one is picked for you. Change the pick with a tap.
Swipe to declutter
Go through your library month by month: left to delete, right to keep, up to favorite. Nothing goes until you confirm.
Shrink big videos
Re-encode videos with HEVC and turn Live Photos into stills, keeping the date and location. Often half the size.
Secret Vault
Hide photos, videos and notes in an encrypted vault that opens only with Face ID. The key never leaves your iPhone.
Privacy tools
Check emails and passwords against known data breaches, generate strong passwords and run a privacy checkup.
Plus: merge duplicate contacts, clear out old calendar events and see exactly what fills your storage.
Three steps to a lighter iPhone.
Scan
Scratchy analyzes your library on device using Apple’s own frameworks. It usually takes a minute.
Review
See what it found, category by category. Favorites are protected and never pre-selected.
Free up space
Confirm, and the space is yours. Removed items stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days, just in case.
Designed for iPhone.
Native, fast and familiar, with nothing in your way.
Your photos never leave your iPhone.

Questions?
Does Scratchy upload my photos?
No. Every photo and video is analyzed on your iPhone, and nothing from your library is sent to us or anyone else.
Can I get deleted photos back?
Yes, for 30 days. Scratchy moves items to Recently Deleted in the Photos app, where you can recover them. Empty that album when you want the space back right away.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose Scratchy and tap Cancel Subscription. Deleting the app doesn’t cancel it.
