FolderManifest is a folder monitoring, comparison, and duplicate file management tool for Windows 10 and 11, macOS 11 and later, and modern Linux. Key features include: (1) Watch Folder — pick a folder and FolderManifest watches it in the background, even with the window closed and the app in the tray or menu bar, logging every file added, removed, or changed with a running history, CSV export, and local notifications; (2) Save Folder Snapshot — create a verifiable SHA-256 fingerprint of every file in a folder; (3) Check Folder Changes — compare the current state against a saved snapshot to catch anything that moved; (4) Duplicate Finder — find duplicate files by content hash, even when filenames are different; (5) Compare Folders — side-by-side comparison of two directories; (6) Compare Files — compare two files by content, size, or metadata; (7) Organize — automatically sort files into folders using preset or custom rule books, with full undo support; (8) Interactive HTML Reports — shareable, searchable reports for auditing; (9) Full CLI — every feature available from the command line with stable exit codes for CI/CD, Task Scheduler, and cron automation; (10) Recovery Bin — duplicates are moved to a recovery bin, never hard-deleted. A task-based Home screen and a guided in-app tour with a hands-on demo mode get you to your first result in minutes. Everything runs locally; your files never leave your machine. Includes a 7-day free trial. Lifetime license $39 with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
