Targie

简体中文 | 繁體中文 | Español | Français

macOS only. Targie is a native macOS 14+ application. There is no Windows or Linux build, and none is planned.

Targie finds similar videos and images across selected folders by combining metadata, content hashes, perceptual fingerprints, and visual features.

Features

  • Switches between Videos, Images, and All scan modes and remembers the selected mode.
  • Adds multiple folders through the picker or Finder drag and drop, then compares media across all selected folders.
  • Recursively scans common video formats plus JPEG, PNG, HEIC, HEIF, WebP, TIFF, GIF, and BMP images.
  • Uses SHA-256, cached perceptual fingerprints, metadata, and reusable Vision features while isolating unreadable files.
  • Keeps video and image groups separate for side-by-side review with static in-app previews.
  • Opens videos in the default player and reveals either media type in Finder.
  • Supports explicit multi-selection and partial-success batch deletion.
  • Requires an explicit choice between moving files to Trash and permanent deletion, with a second confirmation for permanent deletion.
  • Supports English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, and French with instant switching and remembered preference.
  • Browse mode: view all files from selected folders in a sortable, filterable table with drag-to-resize columns, batch selection, and a live-updating window title.
