Who builds it
Sensitivity is designed and developed by Dmytro Polianskyi. The app grew from a practical problem: Apple provides strong ways to protect, hide, and delete media once you have found it, but a large library can still contain private items you no longer remember.
The goal is deliberately narrow. Sensitivity creates a smaller review queue. It does not decide what a person should keep, hide, or delete.
The product boundaries
- Classification runs on the device.
- Photos and videos are not uploaded to Sensitivity servers for scanning.
- No Sensitivity account is required.
- Results are reviewed behind device authentication.
- Nothing is deleted automatically.
- Automated detection can produce false positives and miss items.
Those boundaries matter more than a vague claim that an app is “private.” The detailed handling of Photos access, iCloud downloads, analytics, results, and purchases is documented in the privacy policy.
How the guides are produced
Guides start with a real task faced by an iPhone, iPad, or Mac owner: preparing for repair, cleaning a library, understanding deletion, or reducing accidental exposure during a handoff. Apple behavior is sourced to current Apple Support documentation. Sensitivity-specific statements are checked against the shipped app and its published privacy policy.
Every guide includes a publication date, sources where appropriate, and an explicit reminder that automated detection requires human review. Material changes to Apple platform behavior or to Sensitivity’s own workflow result in a dated update.
Editorial and commercial disclosure
These guides are published by the developer of Sensitivity and may link to the app. They are therefore product-owned material, not independent editorial coverage. The guides do not use third-party affiliate links. Photo scanning is free; full video scanning is offered as a one-time in-app purchase handled by Apple.
Corrections and questions
If a guide is unclear, outdated, or technically inaccurate, use the contact address on the Support page. Reports with the page URL, device platform, and the statement that needs correction are especially useful.
