Client Snapshot
Built by SoLoVision LLC for people who need more phone storage but do not trust vague one-tap cleanup promises. The app keeps scanning local, uses Android confirmation surfaces, and makes backup part of the cleanup journey instead of an afterthought.

Storage cleanup needed a trust model, not a bigger delete button
Many cleaner apps overpromise access Android does not grant, mix unrelated booster claims into the experience, or ask people to delete before they understand the impact. SoLo Backup & Clean was designed around platform honesty and reversibility.
Protect first
Photo and conversation backup is visible before cleanup, not hidden in settings.
Review every change
Candidates are explained and remain unselected until the user makes a choice.
Show the impact
Space-impact previews explain the expected gain and when Android actually releases storage.
Respect Android
Protected app data, Downloads, uninstalls, and media confirmation stay under Android’s authority.
Product approach
A native workflow shaped around real Android boundaries
The work combined storage analysis, backup reliability, destructive-action safeguards, restricted-permission policy, and a brand system designed to feel calm and trustworthy.
1 • Define the safety contract
No silent deletion, no false cache-clearing claims, honest scan coverage, and a useful path even when permissions are denied.
2 • Build protection into the journey
Google Photos backup verifies each uploaded item, while SMS and MMS use password-derived keys and authenticated encryption.
3 • Make each action understandable
Guided care plans, empty states, confirmation copy, and space previews keep technical platform rules readable.
4 • Prove policy and runtime behavior
Unit, lint, instrumentation, physical-device, restricted-permission, privacy, and Play listing work are treated as one release surface.
Project Objectives
Reduce storage anxiety
Turn storage totals into a simple plan and a recommended free-space goal without pretending every byte is directly removable.
Preserve personal content
Give photos and conversations a deliberate protection path before any cleanup suggestion becomes an action.
Earn permission trust
Explain why media, message, and Usage Access permissions are requested and keep the app useful when optional access is denied.
Design System Highlights
The visual language blends cinematic depth with a confident accent palette, reinforcing the team’s dedication to clarity and innovation.
SoLoVision clarity
White and cool grey keep the app calm, navy anchors decisions, and deep red marks brand accents and high-attention moments.
Care plan hierarchy
Protect, Review, and Clean form the visible journey across the dashboard, guided flow, and confirmation states.
Accessible action language
Buttons name the real next step, supporting copy explains Android handoffs, and color is never the only signal.
Technical Highlights
Native Kotlin and Jetpack Compose
A focused Android codebase with lifecycle-aware state, WorkManager monitoring, Room-backed scan cache, and modern system APIs.
Verified Google Photos backup
Uploads use the append-only Google Photos scope, bounded retry for transient failures, explicit authorization, and an in-app disconnect control.
Encrypted SMS and MMS archives
Large archives stream through chunked AES-GCM instead of loading the entire backup into memory, with a guarded restore flow.
Platform-owned destructive actions
Media deletion, app uninstall, default-SMS role, storage management, and document destinations remain controlled by Android.
A cleaner that can explain itself
The result is a storage utility whose marketing promise matches its runtime behavior: useful without an account, cautious with personal data, and explicit about every platform handoff.
- Backup and cleanup live in one understandable journey.
- No advertising or analytics SDK is required to make the product useful.
- Restricted permissions have narrow, user-initiated purposes with visible controls.
- The same safety language carries from the app into privacy, support, and Play review materials.
