Sweep is an iPhone photo and video cleaner that lets users swipe items into keep or delete piles, then measures the real storage recovered.

Why it surfaced

The privacy promise is unusually concrete: photos, thumbnails, and metadata stay on the device, with no account, ads, or uploads. Its best detail is the refusal to treat deletion as finished until Recently Deleted is handled and the phone reports a measured result—such as “2.34 GB measured, not estimated.”

Ham Is Specifically Discouraged

August 10’s newborn domains include a mock cryptid council that specifically discourages ham, a vintage phone collecting messages for Twyla’s 70th, a 4.5-meter dish measuring Galactic hydrogen at 1420 MHz, and an open index that found 530 sites permitting GPTBot in robots.txt while refusing it at the server.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-10 Domain Arrivals issue.
