iCloud Video Manager

iCloud Video Manager · For Mac

Find the videos
eating your iCloud.

Storage full again? It’s almost always videos. Photos can’t sort by file size — this app can. Scan your whole library in seconds and see the biggest videos first.

Photos shows you what you shot.
Never how much space it takes.

A forgotten 40 GB screen recording, several copies of the same clip, 4K footage from years ago — all quietly filling the iCloud storage you pay for every month.

Know what to delete. At a glance.

Built to do one thing well: find the videos taking up the most space, and clear them out safely.

↓

Biggest first. Always.

Opens sorted by real file size, largest first. A size bar on every row makes the heaviest videos obvious, and videos with an unknown size always sit at the bottom — never counted as zero bytes.

Duplicates, in one click.

Videos with an identical byte size are flagged as duplicates, along with the space the extra copies take. Select Extra Copies keeps the favorite — or the oldest — in every group.

Look before you delete.

Safe by default.

Every deletion is confirmed and goes through Photos to Recently Deleted, recoverable for 30 days. The app never deletes a file directly.

Filter and search.

Everything at hand.

Export originals, add to Favorites, show in Photos, copy filenames — right from the context menu or the menu bar.

Your videos stay on your Mac.

Every scan happens locally. No accounts. No analytics. No uploads.

Runs locally

Reads your Photos library through the system’s PhotoKit. Nothing leaves your device.

Apple frameworks only

SwiftUI, Photos and AVFoundation. Zero third-party dependencies.

Sandboxed

App Sandbox and Hardened Runtime, asking only for the Photos access it needs.

Never touches files

Every deletion is handled by Photos, and only after you confirm it.

What the app does, and what it does not do.

  • It reads only the Photos library you authorize through Apple's PhotoKit; it does not scan system files or other people's data.
  • The app does not upload your photos, videos, or scan results. Photos or iCloud may download an original when you preview or export it.
  • It does not repair devices, remove malware, or optimize system performance.
  • After your confirmation, deletion is performed by Photos and items move to Recently Deleted. If iCloud Photos is enabled, deletion syncs to your other devices.

Questions & answers

Why do some videos show “Size unknown”?

Videos stored only in iCloud, with no local size information on this Mac, don’t report a size. The app labels them clearly, keeps them last when sorting by size, and never lets them slip into a minimum-size filter.

Can I get deleted videos back?

Yes. Deletion goes through Photos, so videos land in Recently Deleted for 30 days, where you can restore them in Photos or on iCloud.com.

How are duplicates detected?

Videos with exactly the same byte size are grouped together. Select Extra Copies keeps the favorite in each group, or the oldest copy if none is a favorite.

Are my photos or videos uploaded anywhere?

No. There’s no account and no analytics — scanning and previews run entirely on your Mac.

What are the system requirements?

macOS 13 Ventura or later. The current build supports Apple silicon (arm64) and Intel (x86_64) Macs, in English and Simplified Chinese.

How do I find which videos use the most iCloud storage?

Open the app and click Scan. Videos are listed by real file size, largest first, with a size bar on every row. Narrow them down by date, minimum size or duplicates, preview to confirm, then move the ones you don’t need to Recently Deleted.

If I delete a video here, is it removed from my iPhone too?

If iCloud Photos is turned on, yes — Photos syncs deletions to every device signed in with the same Apple Account. That’s why the app always asks first and only moves videos to Recently Deleted, where you can restore them for 30 days. Download the original first if you want to keep a copy.
