About Duplicate Finder and Cleaner 1.2 for Mac

Duplicate Finder and Cleaner is a macOS utility developed by Moneyplant Technologies, designed to help users locate and remove duplicate and visually similar files that quietly eat away at disk space. Rather than focusing on just one file type, the app scans across Photos libraries, iPhone backups stored on a Mac, and files sitting on hard drives or external storage, using a comparison algorithm to flag both exact duplicates and similar-looking items such as near-identical photos. The app is distributed through the Mac App Store and is offered as a free download with a 30-day trial, with full functionality unlocked through an in-app purchase. What sets it apart from a purely manual cleanup approach is its Auto-Mark system, which automatically evaluates each group of duplicates or similar files and flags the ones considered safe to remove while preserving what it determines to be the best copy, based on priorities the user can configure. Version 1.2 is listed by the developer as compatible with macOS Monterey, making it a lightweight option for anyone wanting to reclaim storage space without manually sorting through thousands of files by hand.

Key Features

Optimized Scanning Algorithm An optimized scanning engine is built into the app to keep the comparison process fast and smooth even when working through large volumes of files. Grid and Outline Views Results can be reviewed in either a Grid View or an Outline View, letting users choose the layout that makes it easiest to review and confirm groups of duplicate or similar files. Grouping of Results Duplicate and similar files are automatically grouped together, so users can review each set as a unit rather than scrolling through a flat, unorganized list of matches. Auto

— Mark for Duplicates The Auto-Mark feature automatically identifies the file to keep in each group based on configurable priorities, marking the remaining files as candidates for removal. Three Removal Methods Users can remove flagged files in one of three ways: moving them to Trash, permanently deleting them, or moving them to a selected folder instead of deleting them outright. Support for Multiple File Types Beyond photos, the app is built to handle images, videos, music, applications, documents, archives, and other file types during its comparison and cleanup process.
