Description
Fixity Pro is a desktop application for Windows and Mac that provides simple automated monitoring and reporting on the data integrity of your files that are stored on your computer, removable storage devices, and mounted network storage locations. Use Fixity Pro to schedule routine scans that will tell you if your files have been changed and if any files have been added, removed, or moved/renamed since the last scan that was performed.
Fixity Pro was the paid version of AVP's original Fixity program, which was released in 2020, but as of 2025 Fixity Pro has been transferred to the Open Preservation Foundation and is now open source and free to use.
Fixity Pro offers a number of improvements and new features in addition to addressing bugs.
