Gemini 2 review
A Mac-focused duplicate finder with smart selection and broad scan coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Gemini 2 is a macOS duplicate-file finder from MacPaw for people who want to identify redundant files and recover storage space. It scans whole disks, selected folders, removable media, network volumes, Photos libraries, and iTunes libraries. The product detects identical files and similar files that differ slightly, then provides previews and manual review before removal. Mac users can compare file characteristics or let Smart Selection choose duplicates automatically.
Pricing is organized by device count and billing term. Annual plans are available for one, two, or five Macs and include a 30-day money-back guarantee. Monthly plans cover the same device counts and include a 14-day money-back guarantee. One-time plans are available for one or two Macs, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. The listed starting price is 44.95. Across the plans, the published features include duplicate and similar file scanning and Smart Selection, so the main choice is between billing term and the number of Macs covered.
Its standout strength is the combination of broad scan locations and assisted selection. Gemini 2 can inspect local storage, external and network volumes, Photos, and iTunes libraries, while its Ignore List supports folder and file exclusions. Smart Selection can learn user selection preferences for future scans, and removed files go to Trash by default for restoration. It is a strong fit for Mac users who want more than exact-match searching and prefer guided cleanup. Users who need Windows support, an unpaid plan, or a five-Mac one-time option should choose an alternative.
