Three steps, and you stay in control

Unclone only looks at first. You review, you choose, and only then does anything move.

1

Choose where to look

Folders, external drives or USB sticks. System folders are always left out; the Photos library is only read, if you ask.

IDENTICAL COPIES

Byte for byte, no guessing

The original is the oldest file. On a tie, the one that isn’t named “copy” or “(1)” stays.

report.pdf stays report copy.pdf report (1).pdf
SIMILAR PHOTOS

Bursts and near-duplicates, kept apart

Never pre-selected. The highest resolution is suggested, and removing a similar photo asks you to confirm you reviewed it.

IPHONE AND CLOUD

HEIC, upright, nothing downloaded

Reads HEIC photos the right way up. Files that live only in iCloud are skipped, so your data plan is spared.

PHONE CONTACTS

Duplicate contacts, merged

Finds the same number written different ways (+351 912…, 912…) and the same email, even under different names. Merges them into one, with a backup first.

PHOTOS LIBRARY

Loose copies of what is already in Photos

Compares with your Photos library without touching it. Duplicates inside it go to an album, and you delete them in Photos itself.

WhatsApp, Telegram, screenshots

See and clean only what came from each app.

MILLIONS OF FILES

Tested on a real iMac. The next scan is faster: files that haven’t changed aren’t read again.

IPHONE AND IPAD

“Keep only the best of each group” marks all but the highest-resolution one. None worth keeping? “Delete the whole group”, with an extra warning.

Duplicate documents are grouped by the app they belong to, with its icon.

Nothing disappears behind your back

  • The original always stays. Unclone won’t let you select every copy in a group.
  • Trash by default. You can put files back until you empty the Trash.
  • Checks before it acts. If a file changed after the scan, it is skipped.
  • Backups stay unselected. Backup and project folders are never selected automatically.
  • Your files never leave your computer. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Does Unclone delete anything on its own?

No. It only scans and shows. Nothing moves until you confirm, and by default it goes to the Trash.

What’s the difference between “identical” and “similar”?

Identical files match byte for byte, beyond doubt. Similar photos are near-duplicates, like a burst: they’re shown apart and you decide one by one.

Does it touch my Photos library?

It only reads it, if you ask, to find loose copies of photos already there. Nothing is deleted inside it: duplicates in the library go to an album and you delete them in Photos, which keeps them in Recently Deleted for 30 days.

Does it work with my iPhone contacts?

Yes. iPhone contacts reach the Mac Contacts app through iCloud. Unclone merges the duplicates and the change syncs back to the iPhone. It saves a backup (.vcf) first.

Does it work on iPhone and iPad?

Yes. The iPhone and iPad version scans the Photos library (all of it or a single album, such as WhatsApp), folders in Files and USB drives, Contacts and Gmail. The first time you open it, a guided tour shows how to use it.

I deleted photos and didn’t get the space back. Why?

Deleted photos stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days, in case you change your mind. Right after you delete, Unclone shows how to empty that album in the Photos app to get the space back immediately. No app can do this on its own: it’s an Apple safeguard.

Can I use it on another computer?

The license works on one computer at a time. To switch, open License in the app, choose “Release this computer” and activate it on the new one.

Are my files sent anywhere?

No. Everything happens on your computer. The internet is used only to activate the license.

What if I cancel my subscription?

Unclone keeps working to find and show duplicates. Only cleaning is locked until you renew. Nothing you already cleaned comes back.

What if I don’t like it?

Try it first: scanning is free. If anything goes wrong after you buy, write to support. Refund rules will be published in the Terms before launch.
