StorageAnalytics
Free up space on your iPhone: find the photos and videos that take the most storage, move them to your Mac over a USB cable, and delete them from the iPhone only after the Mac has verified every file.
- iPhone app: lists every photo and video by size, largest first. Select items and tap Move to Mac, or delete them directly.
- Mac app (free): receives the files and saves them in a folder you choose, organized by year and month with their original dates.
- Safe: each file is checked with a SHA-256 checksum before it counts as saved. If you unplug the cable mid-transfer, it resumes where it stopped. Free Up only deletes items the Mac confirms it still has.
- Private: no account, no cloud, no analytics, no internet connection. See the Privacy Policy.
Getting started
- Install StorageAnalytics on your iPhone from the App Store.
- Download StorageAnalytics for Mac from Releases and open it (macOS 14 or later).
- Connect the iPhone to the Mac with a cable, unlock the iPhone, and tap Trust if asked.
- In the iPhone app, tap Select, choose photos or videos, then tap Move to Mac. The first time, approve the Mac on the iPhone; both screens show the same code.
- When the transfer finishes, open the Mac tab and tap Free Up. Deleted items stay in Photos › Recently Deleted for 30 days; empty it to reclaim the space right away.
Troubleshooting
- The Mac says “Open the App on iPhone”: unlock the iPhone, keep StorageAnalytics open on screen, and check that you tapped Trust. Try another cable or port; some cables only charge.
- The transfer paused: the Mac may be out of space or the destination drive disconnected. Fix that and tap Resume.
- If iCloud Photos is on, deleting a photo on the iPhone also deletes it from iCloud and your other devices.
