Photo masking
Pixelate, blur, blackout, highlight, or cover faces and sensitive info before you share. SmartMask applies masks through Apple's CoreImage pipeline, so the original photo is never modified.
Photo cleanup
A privacy-first way to free up storage. SmartMask finds duplicates, groups similar shots, ranks keepers with AI Best Picks, and lets you swipe to delete — without uploading a single photo.
Recycle-bin safety
SmartMask never deletes straight away. Every removed photo and video goes to iOS's Recently Deleted album for 30 days, so you can always undo a mistake.
Privacy first
No accounts. No cloud. No tracking. Face detection, scoring, and cleanup happen entirely on-device.
