KeepOtter: A Photo Cleaner That Explains Itself
An iPhone photo-cleaning app that works on-device, proposes what to remove, and rescues useful information from screenshots before deletion.
Field notes
KeepOtter organizes cleanup around a storage goal, then ranks candidate deletions by space recovered per decision minute. Its on-device workflow labels suggestions by confidence and protects favorites, edited images, album contents, and certain unique photos. A separate “Rescue” path extracts links, appointments, voucher codes, or text from screenshots before deletion; the page gives an example of 183 screenshots, 19 with potentially useful material.
