Could you build this?
Partial On-device duplicate and burst detection with perceptual hashing is buildable, but the cloud photo libraries have limited APIs, especially for iCloud Photos, which makes the cross-platform cleanup workflow hard to deliver.
What it would actually take: Use perceptual hashing or lightweight image embeddings computed on-device, with a clustering step to group exact duplicates, lookalikes, and bursts, and a review UI with a 30-day trash. The hard parts are integrating with Google Photos and iCloud Photos, which restrict write or delete access, and maintaining native apps across Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. This needs experienced platform engineers and careful work around each vendor's API limits.
