RibbonDiff is a clean, Mac-native app for comparing text, code, logs, and files side by side. Paste text for free, or unlock file open/save workflows. Diffs update live, and a visual ribbon keeps changes aligned.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
AI agents now write more of the first draft. Humans still need to review the diff. That idea was the starting point for RibbonDiff.
I wanted a fast, Mac-native place to compare two versions of text side by side without a browser tab or a heavyweight merge tool.
RibbonDiff gives you:
• two fully editable panes
• live diff updates as you type, paste, or open files
• a visual center ribbon that keeps matching change blocks connected
• per-pane Find, line numbers, wrap, themes, and code-editor niceties
• Pro workflows for Open / Drag & Drop / Save / Save As
• opening two files directly from Terminal or Finder
It works well for code snippets, AI-generated edits, config files, logs, and document revisions.
RibbonDiff is free to download in Limited mode for pasted/typed text. Pro unlocks file workflows with a 7-day trial and a $3.99 lifetime purchase. No subscription.
I’d love feedback on two things:
1. Where does your current diff workflow break today?
2. What would make a Mac diff app feel indispensable in your daily review loop?
