Alternatives
A private alternative to Gemini Photos
Gemini Photos (by MacPaw) was a popular duplicate-and-similar-photo finder. If you’re looking for an alternative — especially a more private, on-device one — ZeroRoll does the same core job (finding duplicates and look-alikes so you can clear them) without sending anything to the cloud, and on Android as well as iPhone.
What people want from a Gemini Photos replacement
Most people searching for an alternative want one or more of these:
- On-device, not cloud. Find and remove duplicates without your library leaving the phone.
- No subscription lock-in. A fair price — ideally a one-time option.
- Reversibility. A safety net so a fast clean-up never deletes a keeper.
- Cross-platform. The same approach on iPhone and Android.

The difference in one line
Where a cloud-based finder uploads or analyzes your library on a server, ZeroRoll does all of it on the device — duplicate detection, blur detection, screenshot sorting — and lets you swipe through the results month by month. You stay in control (no AI deleting for you), and every choice is reversible for 30 days.
