Short answer
Screenshots and old photos accumulate until they quietly eat gigabytes. PicClear surfaces screenshots as a group and finds near-duplicate old photos by visual similarity, so you can bulk-review and keep only what matters. It handles a large recent library in one scan and shows a clear before/after, so even a non-technical user can clean up confidently. Nothing is auto-deleted and nothing is uploaded — you approve every removal, on-device. It's pay-once with no subscription.
Try PicClear on a real example first, and check the current App Store listing for exact features and pricing before you decide.

Quick comparison
| Need | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Check whether useful features require a subscription, a one-time unlock, or neither. | The cheapest app on day one may not be cheapest after a year. |
| Privacy model | Prefer on-device work when the content is sensitive. | Private documents, resumes, study data, and family content deserve careful handling. |
| Export / lock-in | Confirm file formats, sharing, backup, and deletion controls. | A good app should help you finish the task, not trap your work. |
