More space for what matters
Linvy finds junk files, duplicate and similar photos, large files and apps you no longer use — and shows exactly what will be removed before anything is deleted.
Free · Android 8.0 and later · Contains ads
Clean. Organize. Live lighter.
What Linvy does
Every tool you need, nothing you don't
Real numbers from your device. No fake “viruses”, no “boost” percentages — just space you can actually free up.
Duplicate & similar photos
Exact copies, similar shots, bursts and screenshots. The best copy always stays — the last copy of a photo is never deleted.
Large files
Videos, documents and downloads above a size you choose, with filters, sorting and full-screen preview before deleting.
30-day trash
Photos and files you remove go to the trash first. Changed your mind? Tap “Undo” or restore them from the Trash screen.
App manager
Sizes, cache and last-used dates. Find apps you haven't opened in a month and uninstall several in a row.
App access check
See which apps can use your location, microphone, camera, SMS or special access — with a plain-language explanation of each.
Device status
Memory, CPU, battery, temperature and storage — real system data, refreshed live. No fake “boosts”.
Quick tools panel
Free space and one-tap shortcuts right in the notification shade. You turn it on — and can hide it from the shade at any time.
Reminders & background check
A gentle nudge when storage runs low, and an optional check for duplicates in new photos and new app permissions.
Inside the app
Calm, clear, on paper
Ink-blue type, pencil landscapes and nothing that shouts at you.
Honest by design
Your photos stay on your phone
Linvy analyzes photos, videos, files and the list of your apps right on the device. Nothing of it is uploaded — not to us, not to anyone.
- No account. We never ask for your name, e-mail or phone number.
- Review before deleting. Every category can be expanded and unticked; photos and large files are deleted only after you confirm.
- Nothing deleted silently. Background cleaning is off unless you explicitly switch it on — and even then it removes only safe junk such as cache and temporary files.
- Straight about ads. Linvy is free and shows ads. Ads are labeled, never appear in notifications or on the lock screen, and a video is always your choice.
- Every permission is optional. Each access is explained before Android asks for it, and you can skip it.
“Small changes,
a bigger tomorrow.”

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Linvy free?
Yes. Linvy is free and is supported by ads. Cleaning, exact duplicates and large files are always free. Finding similar photos is free the first time; after that a short optional video unlocks it for an hour. The background check and some trash actions (restore, delete forever, delete without trash) are also unlocked by a short video. If no video is available, the feature opens anyway.
Do my photos or files leave my phone?
No. Photos, videos, audio, documents, the list of your apps and their usage are analyzed only on your device. Anonymous statistics that we receive contain only numbers such as “320 MB cleaned”, never file names, paths, images or app names. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
Why does Linvy ask for “All files access”?
Android hides temporary files, logs, downloaded APKs and empty folders from regular apps. To find and remove them Linvy needs “All files access”. It is optional: without it the app works with photos, videos and audio, apps and device status.
Will Linvy make my phone faster?
Linvy frees up storage — that is what it honestly does. Modern Android manages memory by itself, so we don't show “boost” buttons or made-up percentages. The device screen shows real memory, CPU and battery data.
Can I get deleted photos back?
Photos, videos and files removed from “Duplicates” and “Large files” go to the trash for 30 days (on Android 11+ this is the system trash shared with your Gallery). Restore them from the Trash screen. Junk such as cache and temporary files is removed right away.
How do I hide the panel in the notification shade?
Tap “Hide panel” in the shade or swipe it away. You can also turn it off in Settings → Quick tools in notification shade.
How do I opt out of personalized ads or ask to delete my data?
In the EEA, UK and Switzerland open Settings → Ads & privacy → Privacy choices. Anywhere you can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings. To request access to or deletion of data, write to us — see Your rights and choices.
