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.

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.
New in 1.1: find blurry shots, turn Live Photos into stills to reclaim space, and keep people & pets protected from bulk cleanup. Calm, private, on-device.
Key features
What Phlash does
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 1.1.0
Released on the App Store
A calm update with more ways to lighten your library:
• Blurry shots — Phlash quietly finds out-of-focus, too-dark and washed-out photos. Swipe through them or pick in a grid. Always your call.
• Reclaim from motion — turn Live Photos into stills. The photo stays exactly as it looks, with its date, place and albums; only the few seconds of motion go.
• People & pets protection — photos of the ones you love stay out of bulk cleanups and get a gentle cue when you swipe. Detected on your phone; nothing is identified or stored.
• A fresh icon, landscape photos that fit their cards, and you now stay right where you were after confirming a delete.
As always, anything you remove goes to Recently Deleted first, and your photos never leave your device.
