Photos Duplicate Cleaner
INTRODUCTION
Over the last eight years I’ve collection hundreds of thousands of photos and videos, from my very first iPhone, to all my friends sending me theirs of events and travel. Every time I upgraded, or felt like my digital life was in danger, I backed up all my photos and videos. I ended up with an archive of over a million files, all stored on my network drive (a Synology NAS box). The time came when I had to sort it all out, partly because I couldn’t find anything, but also because I needed to replace my NAS and copying the terabytes of data was too long and expensive on storage. I bought several duplicate photo cleaners and I ran into the same problems with all of them:
1. They couldn’t handle the number of files, ran out of memory, and were painfully slow.
2. They crashed when trying to show me all the duplicates they found, all 870,000 of them.
3. Painfully slow. One of them took 3 days to just find all the files, and I’ve got a decent Mac and Network.
So, I decided to write my own with the specific aim to handle this size of archive. To this end I had three main goals:
1. No preview. Previews are pointless with so many duplicates. No one is ever going to go through them, so just skip that bit.
2. Scalability. It had to handle millions of files, from networks to local SSD drive using little memory and be as fast as Apple can make it.
3. Simplicity. No complex UI, but powerful under the hood to be able to work out duplicates and intelligently remove the right one.
And here it is, now at Version 3. I created it to fix a problem and thought “why not put it on the app store and share it”; I got so much feedback that people loved the concept and goals, but could I do this, or that. It feels great to know other people have the same issues, so I’ve invested over a year so far making it fulfil those requests while keeping it as simple as 1,2,3.
This is an on-going piece of work and something I use in my everyday life. But if there’s anything I’ve missed, or something you’d like then just let me know and I’ll try and get it in. Oh, I also have a roadmap section below so you can see what’s coming up :) - Thanks to everyone.
