FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Folio Refresh: duplicate photos, found and cleared safely, on a Mac Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland, 28 October 2026 Folio Refresh finds photos saved more than once across your folders, Photos library, Lightroom Classic and Capture One catalogs. It suggests which copy to keep and says why, steers away from the frame where someone blinked, and moves nothing until you have looked and approved it. Photos end up on a Mac more than once without anyone meaning it: imported twice, saved from a message, copied back from an old Mac, shot as a burst of twenty. Most duplicate finders only look in folders, and deleting files behind a photo catalog breaks it. Folio Refresh looks where photos actually live and cleans each place the way its own app expects. Duplicates in Photos go into a review album, Lightroom Classic duplicates are marked Rejected and Capture One duplicates are tagged Red, with the catalog backed up first. It is a notarised direct download from caddora.ie/folio, and on the Mac App Store as Folio Refresh: Photo Cleaner. KEY FEATURES • Finds identical, similar and burst photos • Folders, Photos, Lightroom Classic and Capture One • Suggests the copy to keep, and why • Prefers the frame with eyes open • On-device photo quality score • Side-by-side compare with linked zoom • Shrinks videos and photos instead of deleting • Every clean-up can be undone • Made for touch-screen Macs: every control works with a tap • Free for your first 100 photos • No account, no tracking, no subscription WHO IT HELPS Anyone whose photos are spread across folders, drives and the Photos library; photographers using Lightroom Classic or Capture One; families with bursts and near-identical shots; anyone short of space who does not want to lose a picture; and anyone afraid of deleting the wrong photo. "I had twenty years of photos and videos spread across old Macs, external drives and my Photos library, and most of it was copies, bursts and near-identical shots. I built Folio Refresh to find the duplicates, point out the best frame, shrink the videos I'd never delete, and leave me with the pictures I actually treasure," said John Sheehy, developer of Folio Refresh and founder of Caddora. WHAT IT WILL NOT DO It will not delete anything outright: folders use the Trash, Photos asks you first, and catalog markings can be undone. It will not upload your photos; the quality score and face checks run on your Mac. And it does not find duplicate videos, and says so rather than pretending to. PRIVACY No account, no tracking and no adverts. Photos are read on the Mac and never leave it. PRICING AND AVAILABILITY Free to try: scan, review and clean your first 100 photos. Then $14.99 / €14.99 once, with no subscription. The Mac App Store edition (Folio Refresh: Photo Cleaner) is the same price. Requires macOS 15 Sequoia or later, Apple silicon and Intel. The current version is 1.1.1 (31 October 2026). Made in Ireland by Caddora. ABOUT CADDORA Caddora is an independent Irish app developer based in Naas, Co.
