Download Duplicate Finder and Cleaner 1.2 Overview

Duplicate Finder and Cleaner is a duplicate and similar files detection software for macOS. It helps users to find and delete exact and visually similar files on a Mac storage. It also works with multiple Photos Libraries and iPhone backups stored on a Mac, as well as standard folders and external drives, hitting one of the most common sources of duplicate clutter that general-purpose cleanup tools often miss. Drag-and-drop is at the core of the app's workflow: users can add Photos Libraries and folders to a Scan List and an optimised comparison algorithm will scan for duplicates and similar looking files across Images, Videos, Music, Applications, Documents, Archives and other file types. The results are either displayed in a Grid View or an Outline View based on user preference and include an Auto-Mark feature which automatically marks the best file in each group and the rest for review and deletion. Version 1.2 requires macOS 12 (Monterey) or later, and is free on the Mac App Store with in-app purchases including a free 30-day trial to unlock full functionality.

Key Features

Advanced Similarity and Duplicate Detection It employs a sophisticated comparison algorithm to find exact duplicate files, but also visually similar images, catching near-identical photos that would be completely ignored by simple checksum based tools. iPhone Backup Support and Photos Library Works directly with multiple Photos Libraries and iPhone backups on a Mac, usually the source of duplicate image bloat that standard file-browser cleanup tools typically ignore. Support for a wide range of file types Detects and scans for duplicates across Images, Videos, Music, Applications, Documents, Archives and other file types, not just one file type. Drag and Drop Scan List Simply drag-and-drop multiple Photos Libraries and folders directly to a Scan List for easy set up before running a scan. Optimised Scan Algorithm The scanning process is optimised to enable the comparison process to work smoothly and quickly, even when large volumes of files and images are involved. Outline view and grid view Choose Grid View for side-by-side comparison of similar-looking photos, or Outline View for a list-based, structured review of duplicate groups. Grouping of Similar and Duplicate Files They are grouped into sets of related duplicate or similar files so you can review and act on similar items as a group instead of wading through a flat, unorganised list. Best Preservation of Files Auto-Mark Auto-Mark will automatically locate and retain the file it considers to be the best in every set of duplicates, and mark the others to be deleted or retained somewhere else. Try Before You Buy For No Cost The app is free to download and contains in-app purchases for full functionality. A free 30-day trial period is included so you can try out the app before making a purchase.

How to Use Download Duplicate Finder and Cleaner 1.2

Step 1 Download the App Get Duplicate Finder and Cleaner from macospace.com. Step 2: Open and Grant Permissions Launch the app and grant it whatever file access permissions macOS requests so it can scan your folders, drives and Photos Libraries. Step 3: Create Your Scan List Drag and drop the Photos Libraries, folders, external drives or iPhone backups you want scanned into the app's Scan List. Step 4: Perform the Scan Click to start the scan and let the optimised algorithm compare files to find exact duplicates and visually similar files in the locations you have chosen. Step 5: View Results in Your Favourite View Switch to Grid View to compare similar photos visually, or Outline View to view duplicate groups in a more organised manner, in a list fashion. Step 6: Auto-Mark to Save Your Best Files Auto-Mark will automatically choose the best file in each group for you, and will allow you to review its choices before you commit to anything. Step 7: Check Files to Delete Check the files selected for deletion, to ensure they are in fact safe to delete. Automated similarity detection can sometimes flag files that are worth a second look. Step 8: Delete or Save the Duplicates Delete duplicate and similar files that you have confirmed or, if you prefer to keep a backup instead of deleting them outright, move them to a separate archive location. Step 9: Run continuous scans Duplicate files build up during normal use — especially if you regularly back up your iPhone or sync your Photos — so run the scan periodically as part of routine Mac maintenance.
