Description
DustFox finds duplicates, blurry shots, old screenshots, WhatsApp repeats and oversized videos, then builds a plan for exactly the space you need. Similar photos are grouped and the best keeper is chosen by sharpness and exposure; videos are re-encoded with HEVC at the same resolution. Everything runs on your iPhone: no account, no uploads, no data collected, works offline. Free to try; Pro is $19.99 once or $9.99 a year, with Family Sharing.

Could you build this?
Partial The app interface is straightforward, but building on-device computer vision for blur/duplicate detection, perceptual hashing, and native iOS AVFoundation video re-encoding requires native Swift and CoreML optimization.
What it would actually take: A functional iOS app needs deep integration with the Photos framework (`PHPhotoLibrary`), custom CoreML or Vision framework models for sharpness and similarity perceptual hashing, and low-level hardware-accelerated video transcode pipelines using AVFoundation to avoid app memory exhaustion and device throttling.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Agriculture yet.
