Description

Introducing Duplicates Monitor. A new powerful feature that helps Gemini 2 not only find duplicates that are already on your Mac, but also look out for new ones. Preventing future cluttering. Gemini 2 detects duplicate and similar files in every corner of your Mac, including Photos, Music, and even external drives. And helps you free up tons of disk space. Gemini 2: The Duplicate File Finder is brought to you by the team behind CleanMyMac X. Removing clutter and recovering disk space are our specialty, so we made a duplicate cleaner that does both like a pro.

 - See how similar files differ with the help of handy icons
 - Add your own Smart Selection rules, like deleting the duplicates that are older
 Never lose an important file by mistake: - If you removed the wrong duplicate, put it back in a click

 And if you’re wondering what tech reviews say about Gemini 2, wonder no more: we’ve gathered some of them below. WHAT MAC EXPERTS SAY “I’ve been an active user of MacPaw’s Gemini software since its inception, and Gemini 2’s release today has made me fall in love with it all over again. In just the initial scan, Gemini 2 found more files and more places where I could intelligently clear and save space on my Mac.” 
- 9to5mac “If you want to clean up your Mac, but are trepidatious about digging around in your files and accidentally deleting something important, Gemini 2 has a lot to offer and makes the whole process very simple.” - 
iMore “With Gemini 2 there’s little reason to fear duplicates. It has a polished, intuitive user interface and the brains to differentiate copies from originals by testing them against nearly a dozen different parameters. It’s also much faster, especially compared to digging through thousands of files and folders the old-fashioned way.” - 
MacWorld SUBSCRIPTION AND PRICING Some features are only partially available for non-paying users and can be unlocked with a Yearly Access plan.

    Worst product yet, took hours to scan folder and after payiong $20 it proceeded to delete who knows what, with no options for what it was doing. Best part is that I am out $20 and it jammed background items into the system. Couldnt just sell a product, now it needs to be a annual subscritpion of garbage. What a waste of time and money HORRIBLE
  • Worthless app that doesn't do what it's supposed to!

    Expect to spend a hefty amount of money on this application just for them to openly lie about doing tasks such as "automatically selecting files based on pattern recognition". It will NOT do that. It scan all your folders and files and provide you with a dropdown to supposedly select files for deletion, but will NOT select it for you. Expect to select thousands of detected files one-by-one for deletion yourself. This is a waste of money. It's a complete scam. When it does select your files, it selects ALL files, including the duplicates and the originals, leaving all your original files permanently garbaged and forcing you to retrieve those lost files using a recovery software, costing you MORE money and valuable time. This developer cheats you into a program that does NOTHING what it's proclaimed to do. I have emailed their staff about this and blamed ME, the customer for them not correcting their error. This company and developer is a SCAM. BUYER BEWARE!
  • Great but unstable

    It's really great at what it does, but it is unstable when dealing with terabytes of data. It triggered multiple unexpected reboots on my computer.
  • Does not warrant a subscription model

    It's tragic how the App Store has gone over the last few years, with every other app seemingly believing their product warrants a monthly/annual subscription. I would gladly pay $20-$30 for this app ONCE, but I am not giving this annually just to find duplicate photos. Ridiculous.
  • Edittors choice??

    I gave them an extra star for suctomer service as they reached out after I wrote the below review This app needs a lot of work, I have a huge database and I am trying out different programs to pair down my collection and get rid of duplicates. I tried this one out and quit after it took a long time to process and then the interface was clunky and not intuitive.
  • No longer works.

    I was using this app a lot in the past and have been foolishly paying for it for several years. Today I'm finding that it no longer does the one job it claims to do. Not only does it not attempted to find similar images (it takes less than second to scan 2,000 images), it doesn't even recognize files with the same name (ex., img123.jpg / img123.jpeg).

    Gemini two is a fantastic app for people who pathologically copy and paste without thinking. it was not loading recently, but the developer has fixed the issue in version 2.9.11. It’s back to old form and I’m really happy it is. Thanks.
