The decluttering deduplicator.
A bear as a spirit animal is strong and confident, it's a guide to take leadership in your life without fear, provides courage and a stable foundation to face challenges. The bear spirit helps to dedicate time and energy to introspective practices.
Same as the bear spirit, this application provides you with confidence to take leadership in your digital life, find all the mess you've been collecting for a while and gives you a stable foundation to face the challenge of removing duplicated data on your machine.
Once you start removing duplicates, soon you realize how much free space you've gained and looking through the various files from the high-level point of view will slightly poke you to set the order to the files, to categorize them and eventually make your machine a clean space.
Currently there is only a Python module available, but platform-specific releases such as Windows .exe, MacOS .App and specific GNU/Linux distros packages are planned.
- Python 3.7+ (3.6 should work too)
You can install a stable version with:
pip install thebear
pip install https://github.com/KeyWeeUsr/bear/zipball/stable
For the cutting-edge available changes use master branch:
pip install https://github.com/KeyWeeUsr/bear/zipball/master
