Frequently Asked Questions
Do you upload my files or scan results to the cloud?
No. All file matching, folder traversal, and cryptographic hashing happen 100% locally on your Mac. Your folder contents and directory paths never leave your device.
How does File Match find duplicates safely?
It compares file sizes first for rapid filtering, then performs full cryptographic SHA256 checksums on chunks of the file to guarantee bit-for-bit accuracy before you choose to delete or move items to the Trash.
Is there a subscription fee?
No. File Match is a straightforward, one-time lifetime purchase. Buy it once and own it forever with no recurring software subscriptions.
