Find forgotten files

Find the files you forgot you had.

Dup combines APFS birth time, modification date, and Spotlight's last-used signals to surface big files you haven't opened in months, with confidence badges and smart defaults.

Free to try macOS 13+

Three large files in Dup totalling 12.3 GB, each last used a year ago, with its size and a badge saying how safe it is to delete.
  • Four time signals

  • Safe-to-delete badges

  • Stays on your Mac

How does Dup know a file is "forgotten"?

Dup combines four time signals (APFS birth time, last modified time, Spotlight's last-used date, and Spotlight's content-created date) to identify files you haven't opened in a while. The default is 1 MB or larger, untouched for at least 30 days, but every threshold is tunable. If a forgotten file also has a duplicate elsewhere, it gets a "safe to delete" badge. Everything runs locally: Spotlight queries and file metadata never leave your Mac.
