A closer look at LumaSift
Sensitive screenshots stay protected
Screenshots often hold card numbers, IDs, and codes. LumaSift detects sensitive text on-device and keeps those shots out of cleanup suggestions entirely.
- Detects IDs, codes, payment, medical & insurance text
- Auto-detected and never suggested for removal
- Protected screenshots stay out of review queues
Quick Review, with the reasons shown
Triage low-risk queues fast. Each suggestion shows its confidence and a tap-to-see Why?, and a Last-Chance Check always comes before anything moves.
- Confidence and plain-language reasons on every card
- "Keep Instead" and Undo are always one tap away
- Marking to move never deletes; a final check follows
A storage report you can trust
One honest, estimated number, plus a Trust Receipt that proves what happened: items examined, what was protected, and that 0 bytes were uploaded.
- Estimated sizes labeled honestly, with no fake meters
- "0 bytes uploaded" and "0 third-party SDKs", verifiable
- Shareable scan proof for every report
Trust controls, all in one place
Your plan, photo access, and privacy posture live together in plain sight. No weekly plan, no forced trial, and access you can review or revoke anytime.
- Free tier with a generous cleanup credit, no trial trap
- Manage photo access and restore purchases easily
- Photo access and purchase controls stay visible
Privacy posture
Your memories never leave your device
LumaSift is designed to qualify for a minimal App Privacy disclosure. There's simply very little to disclose.

Questions, answered honestly
Does LumaSift upload my photos anywhere?
No. Every scan and analysis runs entirely on your device using Apple's PhotoKit and Vision frameworks. There is no server, no account, and no cloud upload of your media.
Will it delete my photos automatically?
Never. LumaSift only suggests. Marking an item is separate from deleting it, and nothing moves until you confirm. When you do confirm, items go to Apple's Recently Deleted, which keeps them recoverable for 30 days.
How does it decide which photo to keep?
For groups of similar shots it evaluates on-device signals: sharpness, resolution, exposure, and favorite status. It recommends a "suggested keeper" with the reason shown. You can always choose differently.
Is there a weekly subscription?
No. LumaSift only offers an annual plan ($19.99/year) or a one-time Lifetime purchase ($49.99). There is no weekly billing and no fake limited-time pressure.
What devices does it support?
iPhone and iPad running iOS/iPadOS 17 or newer. iPad includes a more deliberate split-view review workflow for duplicate and similar-photo queues.
Why are some sizes labeled "Estimated"?
PhotoKit doesn't expose an exact byte size for every asset synchronously, so LumaSift labels those values as estimated rather than overstating how much space you'll reclaim. Exact sizing is on the roadmap.
