About:
Kaleidoscope is a professional-grade diff and merge tool for macOS that highlights differences in text, images, and folders with precision. It offers powerful visualization tools and three-way comparison capabilities to streamline code reviews and file synchronization. The app integrates with version control systems like Git and SVN for a seamless workflow.
Key Features:
  • Visual diffing for text, images, and folders
  • Three-way comparison and merging
  • Integration with Git, SVN, and other VCS
  • Powerful text editing and annotation tools
  • Support for PDF and raw file formats
Use Cases:
  • Comparing different versions of source code files

Alternatives:
