Samesame: Duplicate File Finder

A free and open-source software that helps you find duplicate files on your computer, scanning your hard drive and using algorithms to detect identical content.

What is Samesame?

Samesame is a free, open-source duplicate file finder software for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It can help you reclaim disk space by identifying redundant copies of files on your hard drives.

Samesame scans your selected folders and drives to build an internal index of the files' contents. Using cryptographic hashing algorithms, it compares files byte-by-byte rather than relying on file names alone. This allows Samesame to find duplicate files even if they have been renamed.

Once the scan is complete, Samesame presents an intuitive list of duplicate file groups. You can dig into each group to view every instance of that file found. A powerful comparison tool shows you the detailed differences between two files. This aids your cleanup by verifying which version of a file to keep.

Samesame offers multiple options for removing duplicates. You can delete files individually, or automatically select master copies to keep while deleting all duplicates. Custom rules can be created if you want to always preserve files in select locations.

The application runs very efficiently thanks to its native 64-bit code. Performance optimizations allow it to rapidly scan terabytes of data on typical modern hardware. Overall, Samesame provides an easy, reliable way to reclaim wasted space from duplicate files.
