When I first came along this app, I thought:
“Lame.”
Why would anyone need such an app? Just do a file search, right?
Wrong!
dupeGuru uses a “fuzzy matching algorithm” as it scans either filenames or file contents, even if they are not exactly the same.

Even you have multiple drafts with different file names, dupeGuru will find them. You may need to play around with the options, some, but dupeGuru certainly takes duplicate file finding to a whole new level.
Best of all, dupeGuru is available on Mac, Windows and Linux.

Searching for duplicate files has never been this awesome.
Finding duplicates and they don’t even have to have the same file extensions?
Brilliant!

This app is awesome.
I found it last year when trying to sort my itunes and iphoto libraries.
My eclectic music selection had been moved from machine to machine to over the years and many duplicates created as a result.
I think i had 5 copies of “Always be my baby” by Mariah Carey. This app helped me to eliminate all of them.
The same thing happened to my photo collection less any Maria related embarrassment.

Or you could just delete all of them — LOL!
(Just kidding … but seriously.)
