Sound and feel
You hear it and feel it in your hand
Each container has its own sound. The jar rings, the box thuds, the bag rustles, and your phone gives a soft tap in your palm. The sounds are real recordings, no AI. Just a pantry, containers and beans.
- Its own sound for each container
- A soft tap in your hand
- Works without sound
- Supports “Reduce motion”
Tap a container
You start with three. Add more any time, including a bag and a tub.

Privacy
Your photos, your call
- On iPhone and Android 14+ you can grant access to selected photos only
- No sign-up, no account
- Works in airplane mode
Your photos stay on your phone
Pelusa shows photos right from your gallery and never sends them anywhere, not to us, not to anyone.
Only you decide
Photos are deleted only after you confirm in the phone’s system dialog. And even then you can usually restore them.
A few stats, no photos
When “Help make Pelusa better” is on, Pelusa sends crash reports and usage stats to Firebase by Google, never your photos, name or advertising ID. In the EU, it’s off until you turn it on.
Free for everyone
No ads, no subscriptions. Every feature is free.
If Pelusa made your evening a little cozier, you can support the author with a one-time purchase, like leaving a tip at your favorite café. In return, a “Pelusa supporter” badge appears in Settings. Any amount unlocks all supporter extras, including future ones.

Questions
Why does Pelusa need access to my photos?
To show your gallery as a feed. Pelusa shows photos right from your gallery and never sends them anywhere. On iPhone and Android 14+ you can allow access to selected photos only, and Pelusa will work with those. Nothing is deleted until you confirm in your phone’s system dialog.
Does Pelusa delete photos on its own?
No. Photos are deleted only after you confirm in the phone’s system dialog. And even then you can restore them for 30 days. On rare Android phones without a trash, deleting is permanent right away. Pelusa tells you about it after deleting.
How do I restore deleted photos?
On Android, right in Pelusa, on the Trash screen. On iPhone, in Recently Deleted in the Photos app, where photos are kept for 30 days.
Will a photo be deleted from iCloud or Google Photos?
iPhone: if iCloud Photos is on, deleting removes the photo from all your devices and from iCloud. This is how iPhone works. After 30 days, the photo is deleted permanently.
Android: Pelusa deletes photos only from the phone. A copy in Google Photos, if there is one, stays.
Do I need an internet connection?
No, Pelusa works offline. Try it in airplane mode. The network is only used for crash reports and stats (you can turn them off in Settings) and for support purchases. On iPhone with iCloud Photos, the system may download a photo from iCloud when you open it full screen.
Will Pelusa find duplicates and bad photos for me?
No, and that’s on purpose. No AI decides for you what matters. You just scroll, remember and drop what you don’t need into a container.
What do the containers mean?
Whatever you like. Containers have no labels: screenshots go in the jar, receipts in the box, “I’ll sort it later” in the bucket. Each one sounds different, so they’re easy to tell apart.
Why is it free?
I made Pelusa for my family, and I’d like it to help others too. There are no ads or subscriptions. If you’d like to say thanks, you can support the author in Settings.
