PhotoRemover 📸

PhotoRemover is a professional, privacy-first iOS utility designed to help users declutter their photo library from temporary "schoolwork" or document photos. It monitors your library in the background, identifies document-style photos using on-device Machine Learning, and schedules them for deletion after 10 minutes.

🚀 Features

• On-Device ML: Uses Apple's Vision framework to detect documents, paper, and schoolwork entirely on-device. No data ever leaves your phone.
• Robust Background Monitoring: Leverages PHPhotoLibraryChangeObserver and BGTaskScheduler to keep monitoring active even when the app is suspended.
• Service Dashboard: A clean, developer-friendly HUD to monitor service status, permissions, and activity metrics.
• 10-Minute Deletion Queue: Automatically groups detected photos and notifies you when they are ready to be moved to "Recently Deleted".
• Rescue Mechanism: Easily "rescue" a photo from the deletion queue if it was misidentified or if you want to keep it.
