See it work

Every result is verified before you see it.

Scan the folders you choose, review byte-identical duplicate groups with the copy to keep already protected, and move the rest to the Trash.

Deletion is always an explicit, reviewable choice.

Verification pipeline

No name matching. No size guesses.

Each result is designed to be explainable: where the files came from, why they match, and exactly what happens next.

01

Choose the scope

Select only the folders worth checking. ZapMyFiles does not ask for blanket disk access.

User-selected inputs
02

Verify the match

Candidate files are confirmed with a full-content hash before they are shown as duplicates.

Full-content verification
03

Review, then trash

Keep the copy you want. Selected duplicates move to your system Trash instead of being permanently deleted.

No permanent delete

Designed for repeat work

Faster follow-up scans

Unchanged files can reuse validated full hashes, which keeps repeat scans focused on what actually changed instead of re-reading every byte on disk.

Private by design

Free forever. Pro when you need more power.

ZapMyFiles will always have a useful free version. Pro is a one-time purchase for power-user workflows — $19.99 for one computer, $24.99 for three — while file scanning, review, and safety stay local to your computer. See pricing.

01

Your files stay yours

We do not upload file contents, names, paths, metadata, folder structure, or scan results to activate or renew Pro.

02

No hardware fingerprint

Pro uses a device key generated on your computer, not a serial number, MAC address, or hardware fingerprint.

03

Offline by default

After activation, Pro works offline for up to 90 days at a time. It does not need a connection every time you open it.

Activate once

Enter a license key in the app. The service returns a signed entitlement tied to the locally generated device key.

Use Pro offline

The app verifies that signed entitlement locally, so your regular work remains available without a network connection.

Renew privately

An occasional renewal confirms only the license and device proof. This lets you move or revoke a key without collecting file data.

Pro licensing is optional, private-first, and limited to license activation—not monitoring how you use your files. Every purchase is refundable for 30 days, and a lapsed license only returns you to Free; it never touches your files or your Trash.

Ready when you are

Reclaim your storage with confidence.

Local-first. Nothing leaves your machine. The app only reads the folders you point it at.
