Duplicarius For Mac

With extra storage space in new Macs coming at such a high price, you’re going to want to make the most of any storage you have. For users handling lots of files, particularly media, duplicates can be a major concern.

To save some space and make organization easier, an app like Duplicarius can be a great tool. It finds duplicate files on your Mac, presents results in a clear, intuitive interface, and can even automatically flag duplicates for removal.

While the web isn’t short of duplicate finders, many have flashy UIs slowed down by unnecessary animations. Duplicarius sticks to the basics from a visual standpoint, which makes it easier to use.

To get started, you just have to drop or navigate to the folder you wish to analyze. The app will compare files using hashes, and some parameters can be customized from its preferences. Matches are listed as groups, and you can inspect them to see the contained files and decide which to keep.

If you’re dealing with just a few duplicates, you can easily go through groups one by one and select the files you want to remove. The full file path is shown, so you can quickly tell where each file is located in the folder structure.

When a lot of files are involved, you could opt to auto-flag them. This feature follows a set of rules to determine which of the duplicate items should be removed, and these rules are fully customizable. You can edit the default parameters and add as many new rules as you want.

The optional convenience features include moving or deleting files, as well as revealing them in Finder. Needless to say, if you have a lot of items to process, things will go very slowly if you can’t delete or even navigate to a file’s location from the app’s UI.

Thankfully, you can get the full edition of Duplicarius for a one-time purchase, and the price isn’t outlandish by any means. This is a well-made app, and if you need to weed out duplicates frequently, it’s worth the money.
