Yes, all processing happens in your browser. Your data is never sent to any server or stored anywhere.

Does it detect word-level changes?

How It Works

Line Matching

The tool first compares lines between versions to find exact and similar matches using a position-aware similarity metric.

Word & Character Diff

For modified lines the tool performs a word-level diff and applies character-level highlighting only within slightly changed words to minimise noise.

Post-processing

Adjacent removed and added lines that are similar are merged and displayed as a single modified pair for clarity.
