In a digital world where data privacy is paramount, pasting sensitive code, legal documents, or proprietary text into a random website feels risky. Is it being logged? Stored? Who has access? These questions led us to build Diff Guru from the ground up with one non-negotiable principle: **your data is your own.**

Welcome to the definitive introduction to Diff Guru, the last text comparison tool you’ll ever need.

The Diff Guru Difference: Privacy, Speed, and Power

Diff Guru isn’t just another diff checker. It’s a professional-grade utility engineered around three core pillars that set it apart.

1. Uncompromising Privacy and Security

This is our most important feature. All comparison and merge operations happen directly in your browser. Your text never leaves your computer.

  • 100% Client-Side Processing: The powerful diffing engine runs locally on your machine. We never see, log, or store your input.
  • No Sign-Up Required: Get straight to work without creating an account or handing over personal information.
  • Works Offline: Once the page is loaded, you can disconnect from the internet and the tool will continue to function perfectly—proof that everything happens locally.

2. Blazing-Fast and Intuitively Simple

We believe powerful tools don't have to be complicated. Our interface is clean, fast, and designed to get out of your way.

From the moment you paste your text, you get instantaneous results. No loading spinners, no network delays—just pure, unadulterated speed.

3. A Powerhouse of Features for Professionals

Simplicity doesn't mean sacrificing capability. Diff Guru is packed with features designed to make your workflow faster and more efficient.

  • Intra-line Highlighting: Don't just see which line changed—see the exact characters and words that were altered within the line.
  • Unlimited, Reactive Merging: This is where Diff Guru truly shines. Merge a change, and the comparison instantly re-runs. You can merge, un-merge, and combine documents as many times as you need in a fluid, continuous workflow.
  • Effortless Navigation: Use the "Next" and "Previous" buttons to instantly jump between changes. No more tedious scrolling through thousands of lines to find what's new.
  • And More... Of course, we include all the essentials: clear side-by-side views, accurate line numbers, easy file loading, and a beautiful dark mode for late-night coding sessions.
