Clean Kit vs Slidebox
Slidebox and Clean Kit solve different problems. Slidebox is a swipe-based organizer: you go through photos one at a time, delete or sort them into albums, and compare similar shots. Clean Kit finds the clutter for you, with duplicates, blurry photos, old screenshots and large videos, and shows how much space you'll free. Many people use a swipe app for curating and a cleaner for storage.
We make Clean Kit, so we're not neutral. Every fact about Slidebox below comes from its US App Store listing or official website, linked under Sources. How we compare apps.

Different jobs
Slidebox is about curating. You swipe up to delete, tap to file a photo into an album, and mark favorites, with an undo for every action. It’s satisfying for going through a camera roll month by month.
Clean Kit is about storage. It scans your library and finds what’s taking space: duplicate and similar groups, blurry shots, old screenshots, large videos and Live Photos. You review the suggestions and clean them in bulk.
Which should you choose?
- Your iPhone says storage is full: Clean Kit. It shows the gigabytes you’ll free before you delete.
- You want a tidy, organized library: Slidebox.
- You want privacy you can check: Clean Kit’s privacy label is Data Not Collected. Slidebox doesn’t track you, but its label lists usage data for third-party advertising and photos or videos for app functionality, both not linked to you.
