Private by design.

Your files never leave your device for cleaning. That is an architectural choice, not a checkbox.

Local from start to finish

The engine works on bytes in memory and has no network calls. Neither the app nor the browser cleaner uploads files to a cleaning service.

No account. No profiling.

There is no account system, advertising SDK, analytics SDK or remote crash reporter. We do not collect file names, contents or metadata.

You decide what to keep

Settings, a usage counter and the date you started using the app during early access are saved on your device. Recent clean records exist only during the current session. Clean files use temporary app storage that you can delete in Settings. Originals are never overwritten.

Maps only when you ask

When a photo contains a location, the app first shows an offline overview. A map from Apple or Google loads only when you open it; the photo itself is never sent.

Sharing is your choice

A sharing destination receives the copy and applies its own privacy practices. A system file picker may access a cloud provider you configured. Download locally for an offline workflow.

Clear about the limits

Metadata cleaning does not anonymize visible content or eliminate every hidden channel. Read the format notes before sharing sensitive files.
