HeadroomTell Headroom how much room your iPhone needs. It finds the least painful way to get it — and nothing changes until you approve.
Screens show a small test library, so the amounts are small.
How it works
Most apps ask what you want to delete. Headroom asks how much space you need — then does the thinking.
1, 5, 10, 20 GB, an iOS update, or a custom amount.
Easy wins first, smaller copies instead of deletions, and a clear impact rating.
Tap once, confirm Apple's dialog. Removed items stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days.
Space goal
Need room for an update or a trip? Choose the amount and Headroom builds the lowest-loss plan to get there.
Photos
Duplicates and near-identical photos are grouped, and the sharpest, best-lit one — best faces included — is kept for you.
Keep it, make it smaller
Optimize videos and photos into smaller copies. Date, place, favorites and albums stay exactly as they were.
Files
Connect the folders you choose. Headroom finds large, old and duplicate files — and zips older versions of documents.
Every screen is the real app. They come from a small test library, so the amounts are small — yours will be whatever your iPhone holds.
Need more space? Headroom finds it.
Tell us how much you need.
A plan that loses less.
You set the rules.
Albums to leave alone, videos to never remove, photos too new to touch.
Everything Headroom learns about your library is worked out on your iPhone — and stays there.
On supported devices, Headroom also explains why a screenshot may no longer be needed, and understands your questions in your own words. Everything works without it too.
Good to know
Removed photos go to Recently Deleted for 30 days, so the space comes back once you empty it there.
iOS doesn't let any app clear other apps' data or system storage. Headroom focuses on your photos, videos and the folders you choose.
If you use iCloud Photos, removing a photo removes it from all your devices that use it. Optimized copies sync like any other photo.
What you need
Earlier versions of iOS work too
Everything Headroom does is analysed on the phone, with Apple's own on-device frameworks. Photos access is asked for when you start, and in Files only the folders you choose are looked at.
