Metadata within a file can tell a lot about you. Cameras record data about when a picture was taken and what camera was used. Office applications automatically add author and company information to documents and spreadsheets. Maybe you do not want to disclose those information.

This tool allows you to view metadata in your files and to get rid of them as much as possible.

Under the hood, it relies on mat2 to parse and remove the metadata.

Very basic, but it does the job. You first need to "Add Files" or "Add foldes" to list the files and then hit Ctrl+m to clean the metadata. I used it to clean metadata from a photo and it worked. It's UI, but bare minimum. For example no menu to clear the metadata and no right-click either. You have to know the shortcuts, which can be found in the help menu. It takes a few seconds to show up when you launch it. It will show up in your "Accessories" menu.
