What it does

Six ways to see what changed.

01

Text diff that reads minds

A from-scratch Myers engine with character-level highlights, side-by-side and unified layouts, change bars, collapsible regions, and jump-to-change navigation.

02

Pixel-perfect image diff

Two-Up, One-Up blink, Split reveal, and a false-color Difference mode where only the changed pixels glow.

03

Whole-folder compare

Recursive scan tags every file Added, Removed, Modified, or Identical. Drill straight into the right diff.

04

Git, and a Custom Comparison popover

Open any repository to browse commits and changesets, then compare any reference or commit against your working copy. Save the ones you reach for and reopen them live.

05

Three-way merge

Base, left, and right with an editable result. Take a side, take both, or hand-edit, with conflicts called out.

06

Liquid Glass, throughout

Native macOS 26 materials on every toolbar, switcher, and popover. It feels like the system, because it is.

In the wild

Built to be lived in.
