FileAtlas

File indexer, duplicate finder and folder comparison.

What it does

FileAtlas helps inspect larger local file collections without sending their contents away. It indexes chosen folders, compares saved snapshots, identifies duplicates and creates reports or backups. It makes storage, metadata and changes easier to assess before you decide what to remove or keep.

AI-assisted development

Schrotty74 develops these projects with AI assistance. Depending on the project, OpenAI Codex and, in parts, Claude support the development work. Xcode is used for Apple-platform development. Schrotty74 retains final review and responsibility.

Data and privacy

Scan data remains local. If the optional update check is enabled, FileAtlas contacts GitHub Releases only to look for a newer version.
