v1.0.0

Peanut v1.0.0 — first public release.

A content-aware duplicate file finder for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Catches duplicates that exact-byte tools miss: resized photos, re-encoded videos, renamed documents, and source code that drifted across copies.

Downloads

Platform	File	Notes
macOS (Apple Silicon)	Peanut-1.0.0.dmg	Open the DMG, drag Peanut.app to Applications

What's inside

• Perceptual hashing for images, including RAW formats and HEIC
• Audio fingerprinting via ffmpeg
• SimHash for documents and source code
• Native pywebview window with full OS-level drag-and-drop
• Battle-tested on a 70,000 file scan

First-time launch

Builds are not yet code-signed. The first time you open Peanut on macOS or Windows, your OS will warn you about an unidentified developer.

• macOS: When you see "Apple could not verify Peanut is free of malware," click Done (do not click Move to Trash, that deletes the app). Then open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to the Security section, and click Open Anyway next to the message about Peanut being blocked. Authenticate with Touch ID or your password. Only needed the first time.

• Windows: Click "More info" on the SmartScreen warning, then "Run anyway."

• Linux: Make the AppImage executable with chmod +x and run it.

Code signing is in progress and will land in a future release.

Known limitations

• No code-signed builds yet (see above)
• macOS ships only an Apple Silicon native binary in this release; Intel Macs may need to wait for a universal binary in v1.0.1
• Audio and video deduplication require ffmpeg, which is bundled in the macOS and Windows builds and assumed installed on Linux
