Download for Mac

Free download. Requires macOS 14 or later.

WHAT IT HELPS WITH

Review a change without setting up a repository.

Keep both sources editable

Paste an original and a modified version, correct either side, and compare again.

Choose the useful view

Read changes in a unified view or side by side. Hide the editors when you want more room, then copy the diff or a short summary.

Choose the right detail

Use Line for code-review changes, Word for prose, JSON, or logs, and Character for punctuation, identifiers, spacing, or short values. Ignore whitespace or letter case when those differences do not matter.

CLEAR BOUNDARIES

Text comparison, kept focused.

Text Diff compares the two text sources you provide. It does not compare folders or repositories, apply patches, or treat JSON as a special semantic format.

For larger inputs, Compare is an explicit action so editing stays responsive.
