dupeGuru is a cross-platform GUI application for finding duplicate files on Linux, macOS, and Windows, written mostly in Python 3 with a Qt-based interface. It scans filenames or file contents with fuzzy matching, and offers special Music and Picture modes for tag-based and image-similarity deduplication.

Use cases

  • find duplicate files on my computer
  • deduplicate photos that look similar
  • remove duplicate music files by tags
  • fuzzy match similar filenames
  • free up disk space by deleting duplicates
  • compare file contents to spot duplicates

When to choose

  • you want a polished GUI rather than a command-line dedupe script
  • you need fuzzy filename matching or similar-picture detection, not just exact hashes
  • you work across Linux, macOS, and Windows and want one tool
  • you want safety features like reference directories and grouping to avoid accidental deletes

When to avoid

  • you need a headless or scriptable deduplication pipeline for servers
  • you require active maintenance on macOS packaging or translations, which the project is seeking help with
  • you need deduplication integrated into a backup or storage system rather than a standalone desktop app
