Sometimes you just need to know what changed. Maybe you tweaked a paragraph and want to see exactly what's different. Maybe someone sent you a "slightly updated" contract. Maybe you're staring at two config files that are supposed to be identical but clearly aren't. Compare Text does one thing well: it puts two pieces of text next to each other and shows you what's different. Deleted bits turn red on the left, new bits turn green on the right, and a small counter tells you how much changed at a glance. It works on anything you can paste or open β€” plain text, code, JSON, emails, contracts, notes. A few things that make it nicer to use: β€’ Paste straight from your clipboard, or open a text file β€’ Ignore case or extra spaces when those don't matter to you β€’ Wrap long lines so nothing runs off the edge β€’ Line numbers, so it's easy to say "look at line 12" β€’ Not sure where to start? Tap Sample to see it in action And it stays with you. No account, no ads, and your text never leaves the phone β€” the comparison runs right on your device, even offline. It's the same Compare Text tool people use on the web, just sized to fit in your pocket.
