Terms of Service
Last updated May 24, 2026. These terms are practical product copy, not a substitute for legal advice.
Acceptance of terms
By downloading, accessing, or using Gallery Checkup, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the app or service. These terms apply to the Gallery Checkup iOS app, the gallerycheckup.app website, and any related support features.
The service
Gallery Checkup helps you review your photo library on iPhone and iPad and find possible cleanup items. It scans your library on-device, analyzes photos and videos for quality, similarity, and clutter, and organizes candidates into themed bundles so you can decide what to keep, mark for removal, or export.
The app includes: scanning and classification of your photo library, card-by-card and grid review modes, video trimming and compression, photo/video export to Files or the Share Sheet, a Review Assistant that answers natural-language questions about your bundles (using on-device Apple Intelligence when available, with fallback logic), Protected Memories and Protected Faces to exclude items from cleanup suggestions, background scanning during idle time, local reminders for periodic cleanup, and a Safe Delete Center with cleanup history.
The app is a personal organization tool. It doesn't guarantee it will find every similar, large, blurry, old, or low-quality item. You remain responsible for decisions made during review.
Photos, permissions, and deletions
You keep all your rights to your photos, videos, and other content. Gallery Checkup uses the permissions you grant in iOS to analyze your photo library on-device and to request library changes you confirm.
All photo and video analysis (quality scoring, face detection, object classification, text recognition, feature-print comparison) happens entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded to Gallery Checkup or any third party for cleanup review.
Nothing is removed until you review the selection and confirm. After confirmation, removed items may stay recoverable in the Photos app for a limited time, based on iOS behavior. You're responsible for reviewing carefully before deleting any item.
In-app purchases and subscriptions
Gallery Checkup is free to try; you may claim one cleanup bundle at no cost. Paid features are sold through Apple in-app purchases and managed in part by RevenueCat, a third-party subscription management service. The App Store purchase sheet shows the name, duration, price, and any introductory offer before you confirm.
Purchase options available:
- All Bundles Monthly Subscription: an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks all cleanup bundles.
- Once-and-Done Full Access: a one-time purchase that grants full access for 30 days.
Subscriptions are charged to your Apple Account and renew automatically unless canceled before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Once-and-Done purchases are a single charge and don't renew. Apple processes all payments, renewals, refunds, price changes, and billing issues under Apple's terms. Gallery Checkup does not receive or store your full card or payment method details. If paid access doesn't appear after purchase, use restore purchases in the app or contact support.
Analytics
Optional, privacy-focused analytics are powered by TelemetryDeck. When enabled, the app sends anonymized event signals (scan started, scan completed, setting changed) to help understand feature usage. No personal information, device identifiers, photos, or video content is transmitted. Analytics are disabled by default and can be toggled any time in the Trust Center, onboarding, or settings. The website uses Google Tag Manager for its own, separate analytics.
Apple Intelligence
On devices that support Apple Intelligence (iOS 26.0+), Gallery Checkup may use the on-device FoundationModels framework to generate bundle summaries, tag photo content, and power the Review Assistant's natural-language responses, all on-device. No photo or video data is sent to Apple or Gallery Checkup for these features. Unsupported devices use rule-based fallback logic.
Face data
Protected Faces uses Apple's Vision framework to detect faces and generate feature prints, entirely on your device. This data is stored locally and never transmitted to Gallery Checkup or any third party. Add or remove protected faces any time in settings.
Notifications
The app may send local reminders for periodic cleanup (weekly or monthly) and a recovery reminder 28 days after a cleanup session, generated on-device and not transmitted externally. Manage or disable these in iOS Settings.
Availability
Gallery Checkup is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad running iOS 18.0 or later. We may change, suspend, or remove features to improve safety, performance, compatibility, or the product experience. Some features depend on iOS version, device capabilities, Apple Intelligence availability, the App Store, or other Apple services.
Acceptable use
You agree not to interfere with the app, attempt to bypass in-app purchases, exploit bugs, use the service to violate others' rights, or use the app unlawfully or abusively. You also agree to follow applicable Apple terms, including those for the App Store, iOS, and Apple Account.
Disclaimers and limitation of liability
Gallery Checkup is provided as is and as available. To the extent permitted by law, we don't warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for every use.
To the extent permitted by law, Gallery Checkup won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses, or for lost data, photos, videos, profits, or revenue arising from use of or inability to use the app.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised terms.
