About

Diffract is a purpose-built desktop diff tool that handles far more than plain text. A single app compares text, binary (hex view), images, PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, ZIP/tar archives, and Git commits - all in a multi-tab interface. On top of the standard Myers diff, it offers Patience and Histogram algorithms per comparison, AST-based semantic diff that understands code structure (not just line changes), and automatic moved-block detection. It also runs fully headless as a CLI tool for use in CI pipelines. Licensing is a one-time purchase with no subscription, and validation happens entirely offline.

About

DirDiff started as a tool to check two copies of files in separate directories, either by date or by a different modified date. From there, we had a go at building our own text-diff. Other diff's show the content of both files, and thus show the content that is equal twice. Sounds like a lot of wasted screen-space, so we show a single 'flow' and the different parts in different colors. Yes, we know we might have got green and red reversed, but since we use diff primarily to check what we've changed before commit, We like them to show up in red because it draws attention. It can also show the structure of XML documents in a tree view. If you configure the usual attribute names that holds identifying values, it will use those to show the relevant changes. If you're using TortoiseSVN, it turns out to be a good alternative diff to use with TortoiseSVN, open the settings and enter the command provided in our site for the external Diff Viewer.
