Kept finds the ones you'll never open — blurry shots, duplicate bursts, screenshots, forgotten videos — and tells you what to trash. You confirm with a flick. Every delete's recoverable for 30 days.
Other apps hand you a long, flat list of duplicates and leave the deciding to you. Choosing which of 20 near-identical shots to keep is tiring, so you put it off — and deleting feels risky anyway. What if one was a memory?
The roll stays full and storage keeps screaming. Kept flips it: it does the sorting and surfaces only the close calls, so clearing space takes minutes — and you confirm every delete.
The category is openly resented: the top photo cleaners average 4.4–4.7★ lifetime, yet their last-90-day reviews collapse to as low as 3.2★ on three repeated words — trial, charged, not free. Kept is the honest counter: clean free, price shown up front, every delete reversible for 30 days.
Kept does the deciding first. You only weigh in on the close calls — and it gets faster every time.
It finds blurry shots, near-duplicate bursts, big forgotten videos and old screenshots — auto-protects your favorites and located photos, and pre-stages the obvious junk. Nothing is uploaded.
Each photo comes with a suggestion and the reason — "keep, best of 9" or "trash, blurry duplicate." Confirm with a flick or overrule it; Kept learns your taste on the spot and stops asking about the obvious.
Nothing moves until you confirm. What you remove goes to Apple's Recently Deleted, restorable for 30 days, then iOS clears it. The next clean is faster, because Kept now knows you.
Decide with a flick instead of a study session — a backlog cleared in minutes.
It stops asking about the obvious, so each clean is faster than the last.
Favorites and located photos are never on the chopping block — delete without second-guessing.
Every delete is reversible, with a 30-day window to change your mind.
Clean by person gathers every photo of one person — an ex, a trip, a whole chapter — so you can clear them in a single pass.
The memes, receipts and forwards you saved from other apps and never opened again — often gigabytes of them — surfaced as their own pile to clear.
Tell Kept how much to clear — 1, 2, 5 GB or all of it — and it stages the biggest, least-loved photos to hit the target, ranked by your taste. One tap, then confirm.
Parking signs, price tags, the same desk — Kept groups the photos you shot at one spot so you can clear the piles that were never memories.
Saved images, receipts, text and codes — split apart so you bulk-clear a whole kind at once. Tickets and 2FA codes are set aside and never pre-picked.
Kept already knows who's in your library. Labs turns that into three things worth sharing — a travel film, your inner circle, one face over the years. All built on-device, from your own photos.
Watch a year of your travels fly by — an animated map that traces your route from place to place, then exports as a video for Reels, feed or square.
See who's actually in your life — the people you spend the most time with, closest in the middle, ranked by the times you were together.
Pick one person and watch them change across the years — a few-second timelapse, aligned face to face, ready to send.
Your photos stay on-device. Your photos and your taste model never leave your phone — the only thing Kept ever sends is anonymous, optional usage stats, never a photo.
Nothing is permanent. What you remove goes to Recently Deleted with a 30-day restore — and nothing moves until you confirm.
No copies, no account. Your photos stay in Photos. Kept keeps no copies and needs no login.
