Storage Guardian

Storage Guardian is a local-first iPhone app that helps free space without deleting memories in the dark.

ORGANIZE YOUR LIBRARY With Photos access, the app analyzes media on your device and builds review groups: • Similar photos — find look-alikes so you decide what stays • Possible duplicates — items with matching metadata • Screenshots and screen recordings • Bursts • Large videos that take the most space

You review each group, select what to remove, and confirm deletion through the iOS flow. Nothing is deleted automatically. Shown sizes are estimates until the original is available locally. Removed photos may remain in Recently Deleted for up to 30 days.

FILES YOU CHOOSE In Files, only folders and items you pick in the iOS picker are included. Storage Guardian does not scan other apps’ private data. Review large files and possible duplicates, then delete with confirmation—recovery depends on the file provider.

MEMORY VAULT Create local collections (up to 30 items) with a title, optional date, cover, and themes. Originals stay in your Photos library: the app stores local references only, doesn’t create a Photos album, doesn’t upload originals to a server, and doesn’t block deletions made outside the app. • Preview a 9:16 card • Export a card or silent video (up to 30 seconds, no audio) • iCloud-only items download only if you choose during export

SPACE AND HISTORY Track available space on your iPhone, see recovery estimates, and browse local cleanup history from the app.

PRIVACY AND PREMIUM • On-device processing on your iPhone • No Storage Guardian account and no media server of ours for photos, videos, or Vault content • The free version may show ads (Google AdMob); ads do not receive your media or Vault data • Premium is a one-time purchase that removes ads only—library cleanup, Vault, themes, and exports remain available without Premium

Storage Guardian: make space, keep the story.
