About

Tabella

Features
Read full description

Tabella is a simple and efficient tool to compare the contents of two xlsx files. Built entirely in SwiftUI, it runs locally on your device with no need for an internet connection. Your data remains private, and comparisons are fast. The app is focused on one clear purpose: identifying differences between files. Select the xlsx documents you want to analyze, run the comparison, and review the results in a clean and easy-to-read interface. Tabella covers the main comparison scenarios: - when two files are identical - when a cell’s content is present only in one file - when sheets exist in one file but not in the other You can also save comparison sessions, export detailed reports, and share them when needed. With its minimal design and lightweight workflow, Tabella keeps the process straightforward: no distractions, no unnecessary features—just a clear view of how two xlsx files differ.
