Contact LGTCS for installation helpStart SafeSweep, then open its local workspace.
Open SafeSweep from your Applications folder. The app starts a private service on your Mac and normally opens the browser workspace automatically. If the app is already running, the button below reopens that workspace.
Existing-user launch

- 2. Keep it running. SafeSweep must remain open while you scan, review, restore, or sweep files.
- 3. Reopen the workspace. If the browser does not open automatically, use the local link below.
SafeSweep is available only on your computer at 127.0.0.1:8765/scan. The link works only while the app is running.
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.
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.
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.
