I built Dupefold so I could free iPhone storage without uploading my photo library. It finds exact duplicates, similar shots, screenshots, and bursts on-device, shows real reclaimable GB (honest byte math), then you review before anything moves to Recently Deleted. Free scan + first 20 deletes; Pro unlocks unlimited removals via Apple. No account, no cloud upload, no junk-cleaner theatrics.

Could you build this?
Partial Analyzing massive local photo libraries for perceptual similarity and duplicates entirely on-device requires native iOS Vision framework expertise.
What it would actually take: The app needs native Swift with PhotoKit and Apple's Vision framework (specifically VNGenerateImageFeaturePrintRequest) to compute feature prints and perceptual hashes on-device without memory overflows. The primary technical hurdle is efficiently batching, threading, and computing pairwise cosine similarity over tens of thousands of local high-res photos without crashing iOS background memory limits.
