Leanroll digs them out. It groups duplicates, bursts, screenshots and heavy videos, picks the best shot in each set, and lets you clear the rest in a few taps.
Launch news and big updates only. Unsubscribe any time.
Five shots of the same sunset, screenshots from last year, videos you filmed by accident. A bigger iPhone or a bigger iCloud plan just gives the mess more room.
Scrolling your roll feels like a chore. Memories pull in blurry repeats and receipts. The photos you care about are in there, under everything else.
Which of these eight is best? Do I need this screenshot? Nobody has an evening for that, so the pile keeps growing.
It sorts your roll into piles and suggests the best shot in each set. Agree with a tap or pick another. Nothing is deleted until you confirm.
Re-saved and re-downloaded copies, merged with one tap. Free, always.
Every take of one moment in a set, with the sharpest one already picked. Favorites stay.
Old screenshots, receipts, pocket shots and blank frames. Not junk? One button says so.
Keep the still, drop the motion, and get back a few megabytes per photo.
Biggest first. Downscale 48 MP shots to 24 or 12 MP in the background.
Leanroll reads your library on your device and keeps scanning in the background. Large libraries pick up where they left off.
Compare a set side by side, or swipe through decks on iPhone. Tap to keep, slide to select a row, undo anything.
Everything you marked waits in Ready to Remove. Delete, or export originals to a folder first. Deleted items sit in Recently Deleted for 30 days.
Leanroll reads the text in your screenshots on device and saves each one as a searchable note with its own copy of the image. Clear them out of Photos and still find that flight number next month.
Scanning, grouping and text recognition run on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Your photos are never sent to us.
No sign-up, no email required. Your devices sync through your own iCloud account, which we can’t read.
No ad networks, no analytics and no tracking SDKs. Read the privacy policy.
Most cleaner apps open on a paywall and charge $6.99 to $7.99 a week. Leanroll lets you scan first and pay if it earns it.
Cancel any time. Good for one big cleanup.
7-day free trial. About $2.50 a month.
Pay once, keep every update.
Free without a plan: unlimited scanning, every exact-duplicate merge, and a daily removal allowance we publish rather than hide.

No. Marking a photo only moves it to Ready to Remove. Nothing leaves your library until you confirm there, and deleted items stay in Photos' Recently Deleted for 30 days.
Apple's album finds exact and near-exact copies, and it's good at that. Leanroll covers what it skips: similar shots from the same moment with the best one picked, screenshots and junk, Live Photo motion, large videos, and the same review on your Mac.
Yes. Leanroll works through Photos, so changes you confirm apply across all your devices that use iCloud Photos.
No. One subscription or lifetime purchase unlocks iPhone, iPad and Mac.
AI is off until you turn it on. When on, it can tag photos, suggest which shot to keep, and title and summarize Screenshot Notes, using your own Gemini API key. Only the photos and screenshots in each request go to Google, straight from your device. Nothing goes to us. Details.
