RoadmapGood for
- Your Downloads folder or camera backups are buried in duplicate files
- You want to see which copy stays before anything is deleted
- You're fine with a local tool at a one-time price, not a forced subscription
Not for
- Deduplicating an entire cloud drive with shared team deletion policies
- Anyone expecting a one-click speedup with scare tactics
Design goals
- Local hash and perceptual-hash scanning for duplicate and near-duplicate files
- Preview before deleting, with keep rules per group such as keeping the newest
- Safe deletion with a way back: Recycle Bin or a dedicated staging folder
- System and critical paths protected by default
- Main flow works offline; activation by license key
Not doing
- Scanning cloud accounts at launch
- Positioning itself as an all-in-one system cleaner
- Requiring an account before you can scan

FAQ
- How is this different from free dedupe tools
- The difference is a preview you can trust, deletions you can undo, and a one-time license with clear support boundaries. Not a longer feature list.
- Does it need an internet connection
- Scanning and deleting work offline. Activation can use an offline grace period.
- How does it relate to SizeMap
- SizeMap answers what is taking up space; DupSweep answers how to clear the duplicates. They link to each other.
