Identical is a stylish new way to quickly check whether two or more files are the same.
Using Identical is simple:
1. Drag files on Identical`s menu bar icon 2. The icon will then indicate whether or not the files are the same: ✓ = files are the same ☓ = files are different
Other features: • Displays a progress indicator when comparing large files • Progress can be cancelled at any time • Uses very little memory, even for large files • All icons and artwork are fully compatible with the retina display
Technical details: • First, the file sizes are compared • If the file sizes are the same, the contents of the files are compared using the SHA-1 cryptographic hash function
What Identical is NOT: • Does NOT search for duplicates throughout your whole hard drive. For this, try larger apps like Gemini. • Only shows whether or not files are the same. Does NOT show the actual differences within the files. For this, try larger apps like Kaleidoscope.
