AVAIL4: Linux, Windows, Mac
Features
• Written in memory-safe Rust - almost 100% unsafe code free
• Amazingly fast - due to using more or less advanced algorithms and multithreading
• Free, Open Source without ads
• Multiplatform - works on Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD and many more
• Cache support - second and further scans should be much faster than the first one
• CLI frontend - for easy automation
• GUI frontend - uses GTK 4 or Slint frameworks
• No spying - Czkawka does not have access to the Internet, nor does it collect any user information or statistics
• Multilingual - support multiple languages like Polish, English or Italian
• Multiple tools to use:
• Duplicates - Finds duplicates based on file name, size or hash
• Empty Folders - Finds empty folders with the help of an advanced algorithm
• Big Files - Finds the provided number of the biggest files in given location
• Empty Files - Looks for empty files across the drive
• Temporary Files - Finds temporary files
• Similar Images - Finds images which are not exactly the same (different resolution, watermarks)
• Similar Videos - Looks for visually similar videos
• Same Music - Searches for similar music by tags or by reading content and comparing it
• Invalid Symbolic Links - Shows symbolic links which point to non-existent files/directories
• Broken Files - Finds files that are invalid or corrupted
• Bad Extensions - Lists files whose content not match with their extension
It is pretty good, but at least for video duplicates there is quite some room for improvement. For that I prefer https://github.com/0x90d/videoduplicatefinder . Shows more information from the video (codec, size, bitrate, length, etc.) and the detection works slightly better in my case.
But if anyone has more suggestions, I know I still have some duplicates left in my pile of … linux iso installation tutorials. What would be especially nice if it could detect videos as parts in other videos.
