ROOM

For iPhone · Free

Keep the shot.
Return the space.

You don't need to clean your phone. You need to make a few good decisions. ROOM finds what's filling your photo library, and you decide what goes, a few minutes at a time.

Coming soon to the App Store How it works
  • Nothing deleted automatically
  • Photos never leave your iPhone
  • No account, no ads
ROOM's Home screen: 29.8 GB free, 89.3 of 119 GB used, with 1.78 GB reviewable in Photos.
01

Decide on what's worth deciding.

Large videos, things saved from apps, Live Photos, similar shots, screen recordings and screenshots, sorted by how much space each one holds. The bar under each row shows its share before you read a single number.

Every number is measured on your iPhone. Tap one in the app to see how it was counted.

Review screen: 1.78 GB you can decide on, led by large videos at 770 MB and items saved from apps at 643 MB.
02

Queue first. Confirm second.

Nothing is deleted automatically. What you choose waits in a queue you can undo. When you're ready, ROOM shows you everything one last time, then iOS asks you to confirm with its own dialog. ROOM cannot skip it.

Confirmed items go to Recently Deleted for 30 days. Free space won't rise until they're gone, and ROOM tells you so rather than counting it early.

Queue screen: 13 photos and videos, 473 MB, each with a Remove button, and a note that confirming only moves items to Recently Deleted.
Confirm screen titled Ready?, explaining the 13 items move to Recently Deleted and that Apple will ask you to confirm.
03

See why the phone keeps filling.

ROOM notes your storage once a day, on your iPhone, so you can see the trend and whether it's photos or everything else doing the filling. When it's time, a 4-minute session is one tap away.

History screen: a storage trend line for September, with photos and everything else broken out.

Honest about iOS

What ROOM won't pretend to do.

Some storage apps promise things iOS doesn't allow. ROOM works on your photo library, and says plainly where its reach ends.

Clear apps or "System Data"

iOS doesn't let one app see or remove another app's storage. For that, ROOM hands you to Settings.

Know when you last opened a photo

iOS records when a photo was taken, not when you last looked at it. So ROOM says taken.

Free space instantly

Recently Deleted keeps items for 30 days. ROOM never counts space as free before iOS does.

Private by design

Your photos never leave your iPhone.

  • Every photo is analysed on your iPhone
  • No account, no sign-in
  • No ads and no tracking
  • Anonymous usage analytics only: which features get used, never what's in your library

How ROOM works

What does ROOM look for?

Duplicate photos, similar shots from the same moment, blurry photos, screenshots (sorted into groups by what they show), large videos, screen recordings, and the motion half of Live Photos. It all runs on your iPhone.

Does ROOM delete anything automatically?

No. Anything you choose goes into a queue first. Nothing is removed until you review the queue and confirm — and then iOS asks you to confirm again with its own dialog. Confirmed items go to Recently Deleted, not straight off your phone.

I confirmed, but my free space hasn't gone up.

iOS keeps counting items in Recently Deleted until you empty it, or until 30 days pass. To free the space now, open Photos, then Albums › Recently Deleted › Select › Delete All.

Can I undo a decision?

Yes, before you confirm — use Undo on the screen where you made it, or remove it from the queue. After you confirm, items stay recoverable in Photos › Recently Deleted for up to 30 days.

What happens when I convert a Live Photo?

The photo is copied across untouched, at full resolution, as a still. Only the roughly three seconds of motion beside it is given up — and that motion cannot be brought back.

What is the 4-minute session?

A quick, timed pass: swipe left to queue, right to keep. When the time is up you can keep going or stop — whatever you haven't reached will still be there next time.

Why won't a video play?

It may still be in iCloud. ROOM doesn't download your videos in the background, so a video stored only in iCloud may not play until Photos has it on the device.

Why can't ROOM clean apps, files or "System Data"?

iOS doesn't let one app see or remove another app's storage. ROOM works on your photo library only, and it won't pretend otherwise.

ROOM says it can only see some of my photos.

You've given it limited access. Tap Manage in the app to share more, or go to iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Photos › ROOM and choose Full Access.

Is ROOM free?

Yes, ROOM is currently free.

Privacy

Do my photos get uploaded anywhere?

No. Every photo, video and screenshot is reviewed on your iPhone and never leaves it. See the Privacy Policy for the full detail.

Does ROOM show ads or track me?

No ads, no advertising SDK, no IDFA, and no tracking across other apps or websites. ROOM records anonymous usage events only — which features get used, never what's in your library.

Why might ROOM ask to send notifications?

Only if you turn on Storage Reminders in Settings — an optional weekly reminder, scheduled on your iPhone.
