Check For Duplicate Files On Your Mac

posted in software news, by Codrut Nistor

No matter how large your hard drive may be, duplicate files aren't something to wish for. The only case I think this should happen is when you have the original, and a backup, archived copy. Unfortunately, this is the ideal situation and, as we all know, reality is usually far from being perfect. Well, today I'll help you check for duplicate files on your Mac without having to go through all of them the old school way...

Decloner 1.0 is a product that just arrived on the market, but PixelEspresso's utility packs quite a powerful punch for those in need of a tool to help them check for duplicate files. As I said a bit earlier, for most of us space isn't a problem any longer, but you wouldn't like to waste time looking for the file you updated last time, with a handful of them having the same name!

Anyway, let's cut the story short and take a look at the features included in Decloner 1.0, shall we?

- compares files using SHA-1 hash algorithm for reliability
- has simple and straightforward user interface
- can process large number of files quickly
- displays file information and supports QuickLook
- allows deletion of individual files as well as marking multiple files for bulk deletion
- moves deleted files into the Trash to enable the user to restore them if necessary
- supports file name exclusion lists
- ignores files smaller than the user-defined size


Available as a free 30-day trial, Decloner is priced at $19.95 and requires only 5 MB of free disk space, running on any Mac OS X version since 10.5 Leopard. To purchase it, you won't have to go through the iTunes App Store pain once again, because this program is available via the PixelEspresso online store, here.
