Phlash turns photo cleanup into a calm habit: daily swipe piles, on-device Vision OCR for screenshots, duplicate clustering with perceptual hashes, large-video reclaim, and an On This Day feed. Photos never leave your phone.
New: Bursts mode finds your near-identical shots so you can keep the best and let the rest go. Plus a Today's Pile widget and a Monthly Recap. Calm, on-device.

Utilities
Built for people who dread opening Photos
Phlash is deliberately gentle: no alarmist copy, no cloud photo uploads. You swipe in short piles, get a 4-second undo after deletes, review before anything hits Recently Deleted, and rely on iOS’s 30-day safety net. Pro unlocks unlimited sessions and every dedicated mode.

Key features
What makes Phlash stand out.
01
Swipe keep, delete, or skip
A full-screen card flow with haptics: right to keep, left to delete, down to skip. After 25 swipes, take a breath; finish the pile, review pending deletes, and confirm once to iOS Recently Deleted.
02
Warm onboarding
Four calm screens explain the promise, the swipe mechanic, and on-device privacy before PhotoKit permission—no scare tactics, just clarity.
03
Home hub & modes
Start Today’s pile or jump into Screenshots (OCR snippets), Duplicates (pHash clusters), Large Videos, or On This Day rediscovery when those cards are available.
04
Phlash Pro paywall
Yearly hero with 7-day trial, compact weekly and monthly options side by side, with restore, Apple EULA, and culi.app privacy links visible—matching App Store disclosure requirements.
05
Delete safety net
Undo toasts, a review strip, batch confirmation, and Apple’s sheet before Recently Deleted—so mistakes are easy to walk back.
06
Settings & appearance
Choose System, Light, or Dark; tune reminders, session size, subscription management, and restore purchases—all without leaving the calm coral palette.
What's new
Version 1.0.2
Released on the App Store
Thanks for cleaning with us. Three calm new ways to tidy:
• Bursts — Phlash groups your burst and near-identical shots and suggests the best one to keep. You clear the rest in a swipe, and you always have the final say.
• Today's Pile widget — a gentle home-screen reminder that your pile is ready. Tap it to jump straight into a 5-minute session.
• Monthly Recap — a quiet, shareable look back at the photos you reviewed and the space you reclaimed. Celebratory, never guilt-trippy.
Everything still happens 100% on your device. Photos never leave it.
