PhotoMate Clean

Improved Duplicate Detection - Visual Fingerprinting: We've implemented a new Difference Hashing (dHash) algorithm. PhotoMate now creates a unique visual signature for every photo, allowing it to detect identical-looking images even if they have different filenames, metadata, or formats. - Enhanced Precision: The "Near-Duplicates" mode is now smarter. At high similarity settings, the app uses double-verification (Vision + dHash) to ensure that only truly identical photos are grouped, preventing "false positives" like two different photos of the same subject. - Smarter Defaults: We've tuned the default visual similarity to 90%, providing a better balance of speed and accuracy right out of the box. New Features - Similar Filenames Mode: A brand-new scan mode! Easily find related shots or different versions of the same file by matching a specific number of leading characters in the filename. Perfect for organizing bursts or edited exports. - Refined UI Controls: - The similarity slider has been reversed to be more intuitive: 100% (High Similarity) is now on the right. - The new "Min Characters" slider for filename matches shows the exact count instead of a percentage. Performance & Reliability - Improved Apple Photos Library scanning with more robust exact-match logic. - Optimized visual grouping for faster processing of large libraries. - Fixed an issue where some images were incorrectly cropped during the scanning process.
