So I've been working on this for a while now and it's finally at a point where I feel okay putting it in front of real people.
It's called ClearOut — an Android phone cleaner. I know, I know, the market is full of them. But honestly that's kind of why I built it. Every cleaner I tried was either full of ads, showed fake "your phone is infected" warnings to scare you into upgrading, or just... lied about how much junk it found. I wanted to build something that just tells you the truth.
What it does:
Finds duplicate and burst photos and lets you pick what to keep
Surfaces large files (videos, archives, APKs) sorted by size
Cleans up WhatsApp, Telegram, TikTok media folders
Shows which apps you haven't opened in 30+ days
Finds leftover data folders from apps you've already uninstalled
Weekly storage reports so you're not caught off guard
The big thing I keep saying to anyone who'll listen: it has no INTERNET permission. Technically impossible for it to phone home with your photos or files. That felt important to me.
There's a Pro version with some extra features (duplicate photos, notification audit, usage heatmap) but the core stuff is free.
It's on the Play Store in closed testing right now which means I need people to manually opt in before they can download it.

Genuinely appreciate any feedback — bugs, UI weirdness, features that don't make sense, anything. This has been a solo project so fresh eyes are exactly what I need at this stage.
Thanks 🙏
