NixlyNixly is a photo cleaner built so that it cannot spy on you. There is no account, no login, no analytics and no server that receives your data. Everything happens on your iPhone.
What we collect
Nothing. Nixly collects no personal data. We operate no backend that receives your information, and the app contains no advertising or analytics code. Our App Store privacy label says the same thing: Data Not Collected.
Your photos and videos
Nixly analyses your photo library entirely on your device to find duplicates, similar shots, screenshots and large videos. Your photos and videos are never uploaded, never sent to us, and never leave your iPhone. Deletions run through Apple's own Photos framework, so items go to your Recently Deleted album and stay recoverable for 30 days.
Photo library permission
Nixly asks for access to your photo library only so it can scan for reclaimable space on the device. That access is used solely to show you suggestions inside the app.
Purchases
Any purchase is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. Nixly never sees your payment details. Apple's handling of purchase data is governed by Apple's own privacy policy.
Children
Nixly does not target children and collects no data from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page.

Analytics on this website
This website uses Vercel Web Analytics. It works without cookies, sets no identifier and builds no profile of you. It counts page views and clicks on the App Store button, recording only which button on which page was used. The provider is Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Avenue #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA. Their privacy policy is at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy. There is no personal evaluation and nothing is passed on to anyone else.
