The Duplicate Finder
The Duplicate Finder is a utility for macOS that helps users identify and remove duplicate files from their system. It scans drives and folders to locate duplicate content, typically comparing files by name, size, hash value, or content, and displays matches so users can review and safely delete redundant copies. This tool is commonly used by Mac owners looking to free up storage space, organize their file systems, or clean up media libraries without losing important files. It is particularly useful for those with large photo, music, or document collections where duplicates naturally accumulate over time.

1 suggestionWe could not find reliable information about whether The Duplicate Finder has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon, or whether the developer is actively maintaining the app. The search results provided were not relevant to this application. If you rely on this tool, we recommend checking the developer's website or contact them directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned. As active alternatives with confirmed native Apple Silicon support, consider CleanMyMac X (a comprehensive system cleaning tool with duplicate file detection), Gemini Photos (specializing in photo library deduplication), or the free and open-source tool FSlint, all of which run natively on M-series Macs. These alternatives may offer additional features beyond simple duplicate removal.
