Photo & storage cleaner for iPhone, iPad and Mac

Free up space. Keep the best shot.

The best shot of every series stays and joins the albums of the ones you delete. Everything is analyzed on your device, and nothing is uploaded. No account, no ads.

A cleaner that knows what to keep

Most cleaners start with what to delete. Curat starts with what stays: the best shot of every series, the albums you made and the photos you marked as favorites.

Similar photos

The best shot stays

Bursts and near-identical shots are grouped into series. Curat picks the one to keep with on-device image analysis — a favorite first, then the sharpest, best-exposed, best-composed shot — and pre-selects the rest. Tap any photo to change the choice, or Keep all to leave a series as it is.

Similar photos: a sunset series of three shots and a mountain series of five, the best shot of each marked Best and the others checked, above a Delete 14 · 25.1 MB button

Smart Cleanup

One tap, albums included

Similar shots, duplicate copies — even one re-saved from a chat weeks later — and blurry photos come together in one review, each with its own switch. The photo you keep joins the albums of the ones you delete, favorites are never selected, and iOS asks before anything goes. Deleted items stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days.

Smart Cleanup ready to clean 34.8 MB from 26 items: 14 similar photos, 5 duplicates and 7 blurry photos, each with a switch, a grid of the selected photos, and notes that the best shot stays, albums are kept and favorites are never selected

Swipe mode

Free, with no daily limits

Go through your library month by month, or open On This Day for photos from past years. Swipe left to put a photo in the bin, right to keep it, and tap ↺ to undo; on iPad and Mac the arrow keys work too. Nothing is deleted until you open the bin and confirm.

Swipe mode for September 2026 with 26 photos to go: a forest reflected in a lake, taken September 1, 2026, 1.8 MB, with delete, undo, favorite and keep buttons

Every kind of clutter, in one place

Screenshots

Screenshots and recordings

Every screenshot, newest first, and your screen recordings, which are usually large. Free to review and delete.

Large videos

Sorted by size

Videos above 100 MB, or the size you set, with the space each one takes. Free to delete.

The motion part can take as much space as the photo itself. Convert the shots that don't need it; the date and place are kept.

Questions about Curat

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Curat analyzes your photos on your device with Apple's Vision framework, and compares contacts on your device too. It has no servers, no account, no ads and no tracking.

Can I undo a cleanup?

Yes. iOS asks you to confirm every deletion, and deleted photos and videos go to the Recently Deleted album of the Photos app for 30 days. Contact changes can be restored from the vCard backup Curat saves in the Files app.

How does Curat decide which photo to keep?

Within a series it prefers favorites, then the sharpest, best-exposed and best-composed shot according to on-device image analysis. You can change the choice by tapping any photo.

Will deleting copies take photos out of my albums?

No. When extra shots or copies are deleted, the photo you keep joins every album they were in. Favorites are never selected.

Is Curat free? Are there daily limits?

Curat is free to download, and the scan, screenshots, screen recordings, the large-video list and Swipe mode are free with no daily limits. Curat Premium adds Smart Cleanup, the video compressor, Live Photos to stills and contact merging.

Why is my library only partly scanned?

If you allowed access to selected photos only, Curat can see just those. Allow Full Access in Settings → Curat → Photos to scan everything.

Does Curat work on iPad and Mac?

Yes. Curat runs on iPhone, iPad, Macs with Apple silicon and Apple Vision Pro, in 32 languages. On iPad and Mac, the left and right arrow keys work in Swipe mode.
