FileDedupe
FileDedupe compares whole files with SHA-256 instead of a cheap checksum, so a match is a real match. Two files with the same name and size but different content are never grouped together. The scan runs in three stages — exact size, then the first 4 KB, then the full file — so it stays fast without guessing. Hard links are detected and skipped, which is why a cleanup here frees the space it claims to free. Deleting goes to the Recycle Bin through the Windows shell and can always be undone. The free version is a complete tool: Pro only removes the CSV export limit, saves unlimited exclusion rules, and adds command-line use.

Core workflow
A practical entry point for understanding the product before launch.
Future paid modules
Launch-state placeholder for premium or advanced features later.
SHA-256 verification instead of a checksum that can collide
Two files with the same name and the same size but different content can never land in the same group.
Hard links skipped, so removed files actually free space
A hard link is a second name for the same data, so removing it frees nothing. Those entries are left alone.
Deletes to the Recycle Bin by default and can be undone
Removal goes through the Windows shell, which means anything deleted can be restored from the Recycle Bin.
Scanning runs off the UI thread; Stop keeps what was already found
The window stays responsive while a drive is being read, and Stop keeps every group found so far.
Pro: unlimited CSV export, saved exclusion rules, command-line use
The free version exports 20 groups and remembers 2 rules; the licence lifts both caps and adds scheduled runs.
License activation happens inside the app
Customers buy on Wappkit, receive a key, and validate it remotely without needing a separate account center.
Free to paid flow
Start with a usable free entry. Upgrade only when the software earns it.
This structure keeps the tool approachable for new users and makes the paid version feel like a real product upgrade instead of a forced login wall.
