Free iPhone storage cleaner

Clever Cleaner is a free iPhone app. It has no ads, no subscriptions, no paywalled features. It scans your photo library for duplicates and similar shots, identifies large videos hogging space, and rounds up forgotten screenshots. A “Smart Cleanup” button lets AI select which duplicates to trash, or you can swipe through photos manually. Its “Similars” and “Heavies” features are very popular. “Similars” are groups of photos that are visually similar, not just exact duplicates and “Heavies” are large, space-taking videos. All processing happens on-device, so your photos never leave your phone. It rates a 4.8 out of 5 on the app store.

Project CETI’s Listen to Whales website is an immersion into the echoing codas and clicks of sperm whales, which have always been a mystery.  You can now listen in on sperm whale family life and history. The project uses AI to listen to, decode, and translate sperm whale communication. See and hear the whales with their own clans, dialects, and stories. It is moving and motivating to keep trying to protect our oceans.
