unclutr files
macOS / Productivité
Unclutr Files is a fast, privacy-first duplicate file and folder finder for Mac that helps you clean storage, free disk space, and keep files organized without risky shortcuts.
If your Mac is full, your external drives are messy, or your project folders keep growing, unclutr files gives you a clear, safe workflow to find and remove only true duplicates. It uses exact byte-for-byte matching for high accuracy, so results stay reliable even in large scans.
Why users choose unclutr files:
- Fast, accurate duplicate detection for real-world folders and large libraries
- Exact duplicate matching (byte-identical)
- Clear grouping and comparison to speed up keep/delete decisions
- Rule-based keep options for faster review
- Reclaimable-space estimates and scan progress visibility
- Optional recursion and scope controls
- Ignore rules for developer/build/cache folders to reduce noise
- Support for internal drives, external drives, and common file locations
- Helpful re-authorization flow when source permissions change
- Native macOS experience with a streamlined interface
New in v1.5:
- Large File Discovery workspace with ranked largest files and folders
