MacPaw is about creating apps and services that improve user’s everyday lives. We make products that enhance what Mac and iOS have to offer, saving people's time and energy better spent on the things they love.

Gemini Photos is an iOS app that helps you clear the mess in your photo library and make it a pleasure to view. With the help of image classification algorithms, it detects and removes photo duplicates, blurry photos, screenshots you never deleted, chats, addresses, whiteboards... and all kinds of junk that make you buy more storage in iCloud!
