The duplicate file cleaner is the most visible reason to register, but it is not the only one. Registration may be worth it if any of these apply to you:
- You want automatic cleaning. Scheduled cleaning means your computer stays clean without you remembering to run the app. Set it to weekly and forget about it.
- You manage multiple computers. Cleaning profiles let you save a "Work PC" config and a "Home PC" config and switch between them.
- You have specific cleanup needs. Custom cleaner rules let you target folders unique to your workflow -- development build directories, game mod caches, render output folders.
- You handle sensitive data. Secure shredding overwrites files before deletion so they cannot be recovered. Essential for financial documents, medical records, or any private data.
- You need documentation. HTML/PDF reports give you a professional record of what was cleaned, which is useful for IT compliance or audit trails.
- You want to support the developer. $19.99 directly supports independent software development with no middleman.
If none of these apply and you are happy with the free version, keep using it. There is no expiration and no limit.
