history
Project history and usage
Gemini 2 is MacPaw’s macOS utility for locating and removing duplicate and visually or acoustically similar files to recover storage space.
Project history
MacPaw’s original Gemini was a duplicate-file finder for macOS. Gemini 2 launched on May 10, 2016 with similar-file detection, Photos-library scanning, adaptive selection rules, file comparison, and recoverable cleanup.
Duplicates Monitor was added in 2021 to watch selected locations for newly created copies. In 2023 MacPaw ended development of Gemini Classic and designated Gemini 2 as the current supported generation.
Adoption history
Gemini 2 is distributed directly by MacPaw, through Apple’s Mac App Store, and through Setapp. MacPaw continued it as the supported successor to Gemini Classic when development of the classic edition ended in 2023.
How it is used
Users choose folders, drives, or their home directory to scan, review exact duplicates and similar files, and then remove selected copies. Smart Cleanup automatically handles conservatively selected exact duplicates; similar files normally require manual review. Preferences control ignore lists, learned selection rules, removal destinations, monitoring, and update behavior.
Why package nerds care
Duplicate-file cleaners are unusually sensitive utilities because incorrect selection can destroy user data. Gemini 2 is notable for combining similarity analysis and learned selection rules with conservative defaults: exact duplicates may be selected automatically, similar files require review, and removals go to the Trash unless the user changes the removal policy.
