Terms of use

Last updated: 5 November 2026

Shiny is licensed under Apple's standard licence agreement. These terms add what you need to know about Shiny Pro and about deleting things.

Free use and Shiny Pro

Scanning and seeing results are free. Deleting, merging and converting are free up to 20 cleanups a day. Shiny Pro removes that limit, and is offered as a weekly or yearly subscription or a one-time purchase. Prices are shown in the app before you buy.

Subscriptions

  • Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
  • A subscription renews automatically unless it's cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
  • If a subscription includes a free trial, it becomes a paid subscription when the trial ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before.
  • You can manage and cancel subscriptions in Settings › your name › Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; Pro stays on until the current period ends.
  • Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Deleting and merging

Shiny only deletes, merges or converts what you review and confirm. Suggestions are made automatically and can be wrong, so check before you confirm. Deleted photos and videos go to Recently Deleted in Photos for 30 days. Deleted files and merged or deleted contacts can't be recovered from Photos; for contacts, Shiny keeps a backup you can restore. You're responsible for keeping your own backups of anything you can't afford to lose.

Simple. Private. Free to scan.

Shiny for iPhone and iPad. Nothing leaves your device.
