The app is available for Android and iOS, for free (and without advertising), but works only with the devices that support Google's ARCore platform.

After detecting the images using these criteria, the user will decide which ones to keep or discard by dragging the finger on the screen to the respective side.The creators ensure that the app can free up on average up to 32% of memory space, improving system performance.
