Could you build this?
Partial A standard utility UI and photo deletion wrappers are doable, but near-duplicate visual clustering, on-device video transcoding/compression, and fast local computer vision at scale without cloud assistance require specialized iOS performance tuning.
What it would actually take: The app requires native Swift utilizing Apple's Vision framework (VNGenerateImageFeaturePrintRequest for perceptual hashing/embeddings) and AVFoundation for hardware-accelerated video compression. The hard part is optimizing memory and CPU execution so processing tens of thousands of media assets doesn't crash the iOS app due to memory pressure or drain excessive battery. Deep knowledge of iOS PhotosKit, Vision, and AVFoundation pipelines is necessary.
