Decloner helps you find and eliminate duplicate files on your Mac. It uses SHA-1 algorithm to reliably determine if files are identical. Decloner has a simple straightforward user interface where you only need to specify a directory to scan, and Decloner will find duplicate files in that directory and all its subdirectories. It then will show you the found duplicates and help get rid of them safely. Decloner never deletes anything permanently. All removed files are moved into the Trash so you can always restore them if you change your mind. When determining which files to delete, you

Several people reported a display problem with this app since August 5, 2011. To this day (1/6/12), no response from the developer. Is this app still under development - will there be a fix?

Wonderful little app! I downloaded Decloner for fun as it was 50% off on MUPromo to see how many duplicated files it could find on my hard drive. I knew I had severals but nothing alarming.

Well, Decloner found for about 15GB of duplicates! Sometimes, I could have 5 times the same file in different project folders. Lots of MP3s already in iTunes but still wandering around in various folders. Buying it was a no brainer!

It’s easy to use and pretty fast. You have Trash, Reveal in Finder and QuickLook buttons next to each file names, which is very handy.

It would be nice to be able to see the date of the files on the main interface (with size, count and total) instead of having to select each file to see it.

Being able to slide the size, count and total all the way to the right to see really long file names would be my second request.

But be aware: it fragmented my hard drive severly after I deleted much of those duplicated files. The drive was spinning constantly and everything was dead slow. TechTool Pro 5 arranged that perfectly tough.

So maybe get yourself TechTool or iDefrag if you have gigabytes of useless duplicates like me.

OS X 10.6.7 iMac Tried downloading it from macupdate and the app site.

When I try to run the trial of Decloner I'm notified:

"You can't open the application of Decloner because it is not supported on this type of Mac."

Decloner 1.4 requires a 64-bit CPU. Check your iMac model identifier from Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info > Hardware Overview.

I missed that requirement also. Now I just spent 14.95 on a product I can't use.

This is a great little app. It doesn't have all the ten thousand options like some of the other duplicate file finders do, but it seems to be more accurate with what it DOES find. Very simple, fast, and helps unclutter my computer. Thanks. :)

Version 1.2 is currently crashing on me while the scan runs but the dev has been very responsive in email. I'm thinking a fix won't be long. Alas, it does seem DeCloner is kind of slow but I like that it uses SHA1 to identify dupes. Very secure/trusted means.

Nice little app that does what it says on the can. Scanning is quite quick - took less than 30 seconds to scan a folder containing 43,500 photos (about 80Gb of data). Nice intuitive interface and easy to see what you're doing. The preview of the selected file at the bottom is a nice touch, plus you can see a larger preview if you want. Also I like the fact that you can move duplicates to a specific folder rather than delete them, just in case.

The website says it uses a cryptographic algorithm to compare files and it certainly found duplicates which had different names/dates.

Would be nice if it had the ability to compare two user specified folders, rather than just scanning a single location for duplicates, but that's easy enough to work around. Couple of bugs - the 'safe mode' setting seems to be reversed (when I tick Safe Mode it moves files to the Trash, but when I uncheck it, it then moves files to the safe folder??). Also, if you mistakenly delete a file outside of DeCloner (e.g. in Finder) and then try deleting it in DeCloner it hangs rather than just tell you the file is no longer there. However, on the whole I like it and will be buying it.

It would be very helpful to have a list widget with several target folders to search, instead of just one folder. Preferably using drag and drop. Other than that, i find it rather nice.
Maybe a little pricey for a one trick pony, perhaps.

Decloner 1.1.1 seemed to work very well for me. Took a 3.2 GB folder (6,500 files) and knocked it down to 1 GB (4,300 files) in just a minute or two. Nice simple software that works well. I will buy it after a few more days of testing, as it's good to support (and reward) those that do such nice work.
