- Worth noticing
- It checks identical files of 50 MB or more locally and offers a read-before-running copy of the script.
Field notes
The scan is described as using built-in macOS tools to measure folders and files, with duplicate candidates limited to files at least 50 MB that share an exact size before local MD5 fingerprinting. Its Finder buttons rely on a temporary helper bound to 127.0.0.1, protected by a one-time key and stopped with the Terminal session. The page also provides a plain-text version of the script to inspect before execution.
