The record

Purpose: Czkawka finds duplicates, empty folders, similar images, and other unnecessary files.
Tools: Its tools include finding duplicate and empty files, temporary files, large files, similar videos, and music duplicates.
Performance: The project says it uses multithreading and efficient algorithms, and supports caching to speed up later scans.
Privacy: The project says Czkawka has no internet access and collects no user information or statistics.
Frontends: The project provides GUI and CLI frontends, a core library, and an Android frontend.
Integrations: The reusable czkawka_core library is used by the project’s frontends, and Python bindings are available.
Platforms: The project lists Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, and Android among supported platforms; the Czkawka GTK frontend is superseded by Krokiet.
Downloads: The Czkawka GTK 12.0 release is the last, and the project says no new binaries will be provided for that frontend.
Requirements: Krokiet prebuilt binaries have no mandatory runtime dependencies, but its similar videos tool requires ffmpeg at runtime.
Support: The maintainer invites users to create issues for bugs and pull requests for fixes; GTK-specific issues and feature requests are generally to be closed.
License: The repository says its code is MIT-licensed, while the Krokiet and Cedinia applications are GPL-3.0-only.
Official sources: The maintainer says the project has no official website and identifies the repository, prebuilt-binaries project, crates.io projects, and Flathub as directly maintained sources.
