Ibex free · iPhone & iPad
Other cleaners delete.This one shrinks.
Ibex re-encodes your oversized videos and photos in place — same memories, same dates and locations, a fraction of the size — and finds the duplicates and clutter worth deleting. Entirely on your device.
Do that to the 214 oversized videos in a library like this one and it adds up: 38.6 GB back — without deleting a single memory.
The original goes to Recently Deleted — recoverable for about 30 days. Dates, location, and quality you chose stay put. And yes, it's the same picture before and after. That's the point.
What it does
Three ways to get your gigabytes back.
Deleting is the easy part — any cleaner can do it. Ibex also does the thing deleting can't: it makes the library you keep smaller.
Shrink what you keep
Oversized videos re-encode to efficient HEVC, photos to HEIC, at the quality you choose — right inside your library. Optionally cap resolution (4K → 1080p) to multiply the savings.
An original is only ever replaced when the new file is verified and genuinely smaller. If it isn't, nothing changes.
Same clip, same dates and location — 86% smaller.
Keep the best shot, not just the biggest file
Apple's Vision framework spots duplicate and near-identical photos and videos across your whole library — even at 70,000+ items. On-device AI stars the best of each group by sharpness, exposure, and framing.
Confidence labels keep false matches out of your way, and one tap cleans a confident group: the starred shot stays, the rest go to Recently Deleted.
Four near-identical shots. The AI keeps the sharp one.
Clear the clutter with a swipe
Screenshots, found instantly. Blurry and badly-exposed shots, surfaced by on-device AI. Receipts, whiteboards, and paperwork, found by text recognition.
Then review them the fast way: swipe right to keep, left to let go. A minute on the couch, a gigabyte back.
Found on-device — nothing is scanned in a cloud.
Built to be un-scary
You can't lose a memory here.
Cleanup apps have a trust problem. This one is built around four rules that never bend:
Private by design
Your photos never leave your phone.
Every scan, every star, every re-encode runs on your device using Apple's own frameworks — PhotoKit, Vision, AVFoundation. No account to create, no uploads, no cloud processing.
The only thing the app ever sends is anonymous crash and usage diagnostics — never a photo, a filename, or anything that identifies you. Read the privacy policy.
All of it is free.
No caps, no trial, no subscription — including the one thing deleting can't do: making the library you keep smaller.
