In their own words
dskDitto
dskDitto is a duplicate-file detector for Linux and macOS with a terminal interface by default and an optional experimental Raylib graphical interface. It scans local filesystem paths and directories using parallel processing, with optional virtual filesystem directories. Matching can use SHA-256, BLAKE3, exact filenames, or fuzzy content similarity; fuzzy mode starts at a 75% similarity threshold and disables automatic removal and link actions. Scan filters cover file size, directory depth, hidden files, symlinks, virtual filesystems, and filesystem boundaries. You can preview files, exclude folders, and use automatic selection. Results export to CSV, JSON, or plain text. With the explicit remove option, extra copies can be deleted or replaced by symlinks or reflinks. Reflinks require supported copy-on-write filesystems such as APFS, Btrfs, or XFS with reflink enabled. Source installation requires Go 1.22 or later; GUI builds also require Raylib and CGo. The project is free and released under the Apache license.
