What works the same as Beyond Compare

  • Side-by-side text compare, with highlighting of changes within lines.
  • Differences marked as important (red) or unimportant (blue), with rules to decide which is which.
  • Folder compare with All, Diffs, Same and Orphans filters, plus folder sync in either direction.
  • Three-way text merge: pick left, right, both or base for each conflict.
  • Table, hex and picture compare, each in its own tab.

What is missing

  • It's early but usable (version 0.1).
  • Source-control integration and FTP, SFTP and cloud locations aren't built yet.
  • The downloads aren't signed yet, so Windows and Mac warn you the first time.

How to get started

  1. Click Download and pick the file for your computer: the Windows installer, the Mac .dmg or a Linux AppImage.
  2. On Windows, if SmartScreen warns you, click More info, then Run anyway. On Mac, right-click CompareCraft in Applications and choose Open.
  3. Open the app and start a comparison from Home, or reopen a saved session.
