dupeGuru

Finds duplicate files on your computer by filename or content.

Visit dupeGuru

dupeGuru is a cross-platform desktop application for Linux, macOS and Windows that finds duplicate files on a computer. It scans either filenames or file contents; the filename scan uses a fuzzy matching algorithm that can identify duplicates even when names are not identical. The application is written mostly in Python 3, with the macOS interface built in Objective-C using Cocoa and the Linux/Windows interface built in Python using Qt5, all sharing the same core code.

Scanning can be tuned through engine settings, and results can be filtered and sorted. A Music mode scans tags and displays music-specific information in the results window, while a Picture mode performs fuzzy picture scanning to find similar images. Duplicates can be deleted, moved or copied, and a reference directory system and grouping system are used to help avoid unintended deletions. The interface is available in multiple languages, including English, French, German, Simplified Chinese, Czech, Italian, Armenian, Russian, Ukrainian, Brazilian Portuguese and Vietnamese.

Downloads are provided as installers for Windows (x64 and x32), Ubuntu (x32 and x64) and macOS 10.12 or later, along with source archives in zip and tar.gz formats.
