Who Suspiciously Similar Filename Finder is for

People who need a small, purpose-built utility instead of a broad platform.
Users working with filenames, duplicates, similarity who want the documented v1.1.0 behavior.
People who prefer an open-source release with visible limitations, source, and license terms.

Intended result

Find similar filenames with configurable scope, match reasons, similarity validation, and SHA-256 exact-content evidence.

This summary is reconciled from the current catalog and repository documentation.

Features in v1.1.0

Capabilities below come from the current project README and release documentation.

[](https://github.com/loganpendragonmultiverse/suspiciously-similar-filename-finder/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

Identify likely duplicate or versioned filenames such as final, final-2, and copy variants. The command uses explicit UTF-8 JSON input and produces reviewable JSON or Markdown output.

Verified examples

Screenshots are shown only when the current README references a local source image. Otherwise, repository example files are linked directly.

Quick start

The shortest documented path into the current release.

python -m pip install .
similar-filenames examples/sample.json
similar-filenames examples/sample.json --format json --output report.json

The example documents the input shape. Version 1.1 hashes candidate pairs to distinguish byte-identical content from name-only similarity, validates the threshold, and supports opt-in cross_directories comparison. Existing report files are never overwritten. Source inputs are read-only except where the documented purpose explicitly creates a new output artifact.

Current limitations

These boundaries are part of the product and prevent the page from implying unverified capability.

Filename similarity does not establish identical contents. The tool is read-only and never deletes, renames, or merges files.

Privacy and licensing

Review the actual data boundary before using a tool with sensitive inputs.

Privacy and safety

The tool runs locally and does not upload input or include telemetry. Python 3.10 or newer is supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

License and release

Suspiciously Similar Filename Finder is published under MIT. The current cataloged release is v1.1.0, published 2026-07-27.
