Terms of Use

1. Agreement

These terms govern your use of the GalleryGo app provided by Alexey Vikarchuk. By using the app, you agree to them. They apply in addition to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement.

2. What the app does

The app analyzes your photo library on your device and suggests photos and videos that may be unnecessary: blurry and low-quality photos, duplicate photos and videos, screenshots (including outdated ones), documents, big videos, Live Photos, photos that can be compressed and results of AI search. For some suggestions and for AI search, text descriptions of photos — never the photos themselves — are processed on our server, as described in the Privacy Policy. Favorites are not suggested for cleanup, and the best shot of each group of duplicates is kept.

Suggestions are made automatically and may be wrong: you decide what to clean up and confirm every change in the app and in the iOS system dialog.

3. Compressing photos, videos and Live Photos

Instead of deleting, you can compress big videos to 1080p, re-save JPEG and PNG photos as HEIC with no visible loss of quality, or keep only the still photo of a Live Photo. The app saves a new, smaller copy and deletes the original, which iOS moves to “Recently Deleted”. Compression lowers video quality, and HEIC, like JPEG, compresses photos with some loss; captions and people tagged in Photos are not carried over to the copy; slow motion, Cinematic focus and edits of processed files become permanent — the app warns you before you continue. If the result would not be noticeably smaller, the file is left as it is and is not charged.

4. Account

You need to sign in with Apple to use the app. You are responsible for the security of your Apple ID. Your balance is stored on our server and tied to your account: sign in with the same Apple ID to use it on another device. You can delete your account at any time in the app (Profile → Delete account).

5. Packs and balance

• Analysis, review and AI search are free and are not charged in any form. Deleting, compressing and converting files require a balance, which you top up with one-time purchases (packs) in the App Store. New accounts start with a zero balance. There is no subscription. Pack sizes and prices are shown in the app and the App Store before purchase.
• Each processed file — deleted, compressed or converted — uses one file from your balance. Files that were not processed (for example, already removed, stored only in iCloud, or skipped because the result would not be smaller) are not charged. The rest stays on your balance and does not expire while your account exists.
• Cleaning up needs an internet connection: files are set aside on your balance before iOS changes your library, and anything not processed — including a cancelled or interrupted cleanup — is returned.
• A purchase is credited to the account it was made in, even if it is completed later or while another account is signed in. A purchase that is awaiting approval (Ask to Buy) is credited once approved.
• Payments, cancellations and refunds are handled by Apple under its rules. If a purchase is refunded, up to the number of files it added is removed from your balance, which never goes below zero; files already processed are not charged again. If Apple reverses the refund, the files are restored.
• The balance cannot be transferred to another account or exchanged for money, and is lost when the account is deleted.

6. Fair use

AI features are free within reasonable daily limits on the number of AI search requests and photos analyzed by our server. Above these limits, AI search may be temporarily unavailable and the app continues with on-device analysis only. We may change the limits and temporarily restrict requests that look automated or abusive. Do not attempt to access our servers other than through the app, interfere with their operation or reverse engineer the service.

7. Your content

Your photos remain yours. Deleted items and replaced originals are moved by iOS to “Recently Deleted” and can be restored there for 30 days; after that, iOS removes them permanently. Keep backups of anything important. We are not responsible for content you chose to delete, compress or convert.

8. Availability and changes

The app is provided “as is”. We work to keep it available, but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation or that suggestions will be accurate. We may change features of the app and these terms; material changes will be announced in the app or on this page.

9. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect damages or loss of data, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid in the app in the 12 months before the claim.

10. Privacy

How we handle data is described in the Privacy Policy.
