TextDiffer is was a macOS desktop application available in the Mac App Store. TextDiffer allows you to view text diffs for code and documents.
Stay on top of changes of important documents (e.g. legal documents) by seeing exactly what’s changed between versions.
TextDiffer has some great options for sharing diffs:
- Share diffs as patches (for code, JSON)
- Share markdown-formatted diffs where supported (for copywriting)
- Share diffs as rich text where supported (for copywriting)
TextDiffer is a great tool to use for teaching people how to code and demonstrating incremental changes.
TextDiffer is built in Electron and leverages native desktop API’s like Notifications and the Touch Bar.
Note: TextDiffer is no longer available for the general public as personally maintaining this app for the public and paying the Apple Developer tax did not seem worth the cost and effort.
