Flagship product

Clean duplicate files without losing control.

SafeSweep is a review-first duplicate cleanup product. It is designed for people who want storage relief without surprise deletion, hidden automation, or risky shortcuts.

The macOS preview runs locally. Existing users can open the local app at 127.0.0.1:8765.

SafeSweep flow

Review first. Clean safely.

Step 1

Scan safely

Collect metadata and compare files without moving or deleting anything.

Step 2

Review clearly

See duplicate groups, keepers, matches, sizes, and cleanup candidates before action.

Step 3

Move to Vault

Approved duplicates move into a recoverable Vault before permanent cleanup.

Step 4

Restore or sweep

Restore from the Vault or permanently sweep only after explicit confirmation.

Early tester preview

Try SafeSweep locally.

Download the macOS preview or inspect and run the source from GitHub. SafeSweep runs on your computer, keeps files local, and creates the Vault inside your local review folder.

Read-only scanning before any action
Duplicates move to a recoverable local Vault first
Permanent sweep requires explicit confirmation

Download the macOS DMG

Best if you want the fastest way to try the local browser app. This preview build is not Apple-notarized yet, so macOS may show a verification warning.

Download SafeSweep DMG

Review or run from GitHub

Best for technical testers who want to inspect the source, clone the app, or run it without using the DMG.

Advanced macOS tester note

If macOS blocks the unsigned preview build after installation, advanced testers can manually remove the quarantine flag from the installed app.

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/SafeSweep.app
Run the actual product locally

The website can hand off to the full SafeSweep app.

For full filesystem access, scanning, approvals, Vault movement, restore, and permanent sweep, SafeSweep runs as a local app on the user's computer. When it is running, this page can open it directly.

Start locally

cd /Users/Sahil/Desktop/SafeSweep
python3 safesweep.py launch

Once it is running, the product opens at 127.0.0.1:8765/scan.

Why it exists

Duplicate cleanup is simple only until the wrong file disappears.

SafeSweep treats cleanup as a decision workflow. It shows what will happen, lets users approve groups, and keeps a recoverable Vault before permanent sweep.

No surprise deletion

Scanning is read-only. Files are not moved until review and approval.

Recoverable Vault

Approved duplicates move into a Vault first, so recovery remains possible.

Explicit final cleanup

Permanent sweep requires confirmation and should only happen after review.

Product principles

Built for safety, visibility, and calm decisions.

SafeSweep is shaped around an intentionally conservative workflow: scan, review, approve, vault, restore, and only then permanently sweep.

Byte-level confidence

Confirmed duplicate groups can be based on strong matching signals.

User-chosen keeper

The actual file stays in place while duplicates are moved separately.

Preview support

Where possible, users can inspect files before deciding.

Restore map

Vault movement is designed around traceability and recovery.

Browser access experiment

Try limited folder access directly in the browser.

Modern Chromium browsers can let a website inspect a folder you explicitly choose. This test only reads metadata in your browser. It does not upload, move, restore, or delete anything.

No folder selected yet.
