Frequently asked questions

How does it match up lines?

It uses a longest-common-subsequence diff — the same core algorithm Git and most diff tools use — to find the largest set of unchanged lines, then marks the rest as added or removed.

Does it compare word by word?

The comparison is line by line, which is what you want for documents, configs, and code. A changed line shows as one removal plus one addition.

Is my text private?

Yes. Everything runs in your browser with JavaScript — nothing you type or paste is uploaded, logged, or sent to a server. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
