Find & Remove Duplicate Files
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Sweepify keeps your Mac storage clean, even when you forget to check.
Sweepify finds and removes duplicate files from your Mac — fast, safely, and without guesswork.
NINE SCAN METHODS, ONE TOOL
• Quick Hash — the recommended starting point. Scans by file size, then hashes only the first and last 64 KB of each candidate. Finds all exact duplicates without reading every byte.
• SHA-256 / MD5 — full cryptographic hash. Zero false positives, guaranteed.
• Perceptual (Images) — groups visually similar photos using a 64-bit dHash with an adjustable Hamming distance. Catches resized, recompressed, and format-converted copies.
• EXIF Metadata — groups photos taken with the same camera at the same moment. Perfect for finding RAW + JPEG pairs and multi-resolution exports.
• PDF Text — compares extracted page text to find identical PDFs regardless of filename or metadata.
• File Size — the fastest possible sweep. Great for quick passes over well-organised folders.
• Naming Similarity — groups files whose names are at least X% similar by edit distance.
• Hard Links — finds files sharing the same inode. Common in Time Machine backups and git repositories. Pure metadata scan — no file content is ever read.
SCHEDULED SCANS
Set Sweepify to run automatically — daily or weekly. It works quietly in the background and sends a notification the moment it finds duplicate groups. Open the full result with a single tap.
SAFE BY DESIGN
Files are moved to the Trash, never permanently deleted. Press ⌘Z right after a sweep to restore the entire batch to its original locations. Free sweeps are automatically refunded on undo.
SCAN FILTERS
Narrow your scan by file type, minimum file size, or folder exclusion (e.g. .git, node_modules). Toggle hidden files on or off with a single switch.
SAVE & LOAD RESULTS
Save any scan to a .sweepify file and reload it later without rescanning. Useful for reviewing results over time or sharing with a colleague before cleaning.
ONE-TIME PURCHASE — NO SUBSCRIPTION
Try Sweepify free with three included sweeps. Unlock unlimited cleaning with a single one-time purchase.
