Gemini 2 is a macOS desktop app that finds duplicate and similar files on your device and wipes them away with laser accuracy, freeing up tons of space on your Mac. With the help of smart algorithms, it scans your whole disk speed-of-light fast. Another thing that users love about Gemini 2 is how good it looks. In fact, even design critics give it five stars: Gemini 2 won the Red Dot award for UI design, so it’s officially the prettiest duplicate finder out there.

And now we’re launching its new version, which will be even smarter, faster, and cooler! The product is entering the active stage of development, and we are looking for a QA Engineer to join our team and help us create new features for the latest version of Gemini and updates for Gemini 2.
