Local · offline-first

Overview
LinFileDedup finds exact duplicates, look-alike images and near-identical documents across your folders and drives, and helps you reclaim space without fear of deleting the wrong thing. Nothing is removed until you review each group and confirm, and deletions go to the trash by default. It treats several folders or drives as one pool, so backups and originals are matched together.
