# Duplicates Monitor tab

By default, Duplicates Monitor is launched along with Gemini 2 and remains active even when you close the main app. It uses minimum system resources and is absolutely safe in terms of privacy, but you can always disable it or its notifications on this tab.

Disable Duplicate Monitor: Deselect the “Automatically detect duplicates on this Mac” checkbox.

Turn off notifications: Deselect the “Notify me about new duplicates” checkbox.

Add more locations for monitoring: Click (+), navigate to the desired folder, and click Open.

Stop watching a location: Click (x) next to the folder you don’t want to be monitored.
