I’m the indie developer of Phone Storage Cleaner: Recycle, an iOS app I built to help clean up photo, video, and contact clutter without pushing users into another expensive monthly subscription.

I know this subreddit is mostly focused on AI tools and free deals, so I want to be transparent: this is not a “free lifetime” giveaway. It’s a small iOS utility with a limited-time Lifetime unlock for about $2, and I’m mainly looking for honest feedback from people who care about practical apps, privacy, and on-device processing.

The problem I wanted to solve is pretty simple: iPhone storage fills up slowly with duplicates, similar shots, screenshots, old videos, and messy contacts. Most cleaner apps make that feel heavier than it needs to be.

Recycle helps you:

• Find duplicate and similar photos
• Detect similar videos
• Review screenshots quickly
• Find duplicate contacts
• Find incomplete contacts
• Review everything before deleting
• Analyze photos, videos, and contacts on device

The flow is intentionally simple: scan, review, and delete only what you choose.

Privacy was a big focus for me. Photo, video, and contact cleanup detection is done on device. After unlocking Lifetime, the app works 100% offline for cleanup — no cloud processing, no account, no data collection. The App Store shows Apple Privacy Label: Data Not Collected.

I’d really appreciate feedback on three things:

1. Does the app positioning feel clear enough?
2. Does a low one-time Lifetime price feel better than a monthly cleaner subscription?
3. What would make you trust a storage cleaner app more?

Thanks for checking it out.
