Git Merge Tool & Diff
Only for Mac
$9.99
Mac
Resolve Git merge conflicts with a clean visual diff. Compare files, folders, images, and more with native macOS performance.
PROFESSIONAL DIFF & MERGE FOR macOS
ABDiff offers native visual diff and merge, with workflows across text, images, video, folders, and structured binary formats. A worthy alternative to Araxis, Beyond Compare, DiffMerge, Kaleidoscope, Meld, and WinMerge.
Built for developers, designers, and technical teams who need to perform visual human review.
---
TEXT DIFF & MERGE
Compare files with high-signal visual feedback:
• Unified, side-by-side, or connector layouts
• Word-level highlighting inside changed lines
• Fast keyboard navigation between changes
• Line and hunk copy between panes
• Three-way merge with explicit conflict regions
• Git revision loading directly inside the view
• Patch export support
Only the result file is editable during merges — keeping workflows deliberate and controlled.
---
HEX DIFF & STRUCTURAL BINARY VIEW
Compare arbitrary binary files byte by byte, or open one file as a standalone hex viewer.
For recognized formats, ABDiff shows a parsed structure beside the hex bytes so you can review chunks, headers, records, metadata, payload ranges, and semantic changes without losing raw byte context.
Structural views support 32 formats: 7z, Apple binary plist, Apple bookmark, BSON, CMS, DER, ELF, FLAC, GIF, GLB, GZIP, JPEG, Mach-O, MIDI, MP3, MP4 / MOV, MessagePack, PCAP, PCAPNG, PE/COFF, PEM, PKCS#12, PNG, RAR, SQLite, SQLite rollback journal, SQLite WAL, TAR, TIFF, WAV, WebP, and ZIP.
• Raw hex and ASCII byte inspection
• Parsed structure trees linked to byte ranges
• Difference highlighting consistent with other modes
• Format metadata and file-info summaries
• Show-only-differences and technical description toggles
---
IMAGE COMPARISON
Go beyond pixel guessing with multiple inspection modes:
• Split and crossfade for human review
• Absolute and proportional difference
• Blurred difference and edge comparison
• SSIM analysis
• Delta E (Lab) color difference
Includes alignment strategies, zoom, and pan for precise inspection.
---
VIDEO COMPARISON
Compare two videos on a synchronized timeline:
• Side-by-side or split comparison
• Shared playback controls
• Frame-by-frame inspection
• Zoom and pan for detailed analysis
Ideal for visual regression, rendering validation, and motion checks.
---
FOLDER COMPARISON
Understand structural changes across directory trees:
• Relative path alignment
• Expandable change navigation
• Copy left/right and move-to-trash actions
• Hidden file filtering and ignore patterns
Designed for real project diffs, not toy examples.
---
