## Kitsmith's take

The most-reviewed name in this section by a wide margin — TheNextWeb, Lifehacker, Macworld, iMore, and MacStories have all covered it, and it won a Red Dot Award for UI design. Gemini 2 finds exact duplicates and near-duplicate "similars" (useful for photo bursts and near-identical music rips), with a Smart Select algorithm MacPaw says learns your keep/delete habits over time, plus a background Duplicates Monitor that flags new copies as they appear. Sold direct from MacPaw rather than the Mac App Store, on a subscription starting at $1.95/mo rather than a one-time price.

## Features

- **Duplicates and "similars":** Finds exact duplicate files plus near-identical "similar" photos and music that a byte-for-byte scan would miss.
- **Smart Select:** A selection algorithm MacPaw says learns from what you choose to keep or delete over time.
- **Duplicates Monitor:** Runs in the background and flags new duplicate copies as soon as they appear, rather than requiring a manual re-scan.
