Kaleidoscope

A very good diff tool for Mac OS

https://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com/
Bought this recently after demoing it for a while. Kaleidoscope is basically a diff tool - it diffs text and images, though it's mainly for the former rather than the latter. I rarely have to do a diff on images, but I'm very frequently checking what I've changed after a while to get an idea of what I'm doing and to see if there're any oddities in what I did. It's just easier to spot problems when I can see exactly what's changed (right down to what exactly in a line has changed).

Here's a picture:


Anywho, it's about €29, or $39 USD, you can try it for 30 days, and it's really damned useful if you spend a lot of time looking at changes to your code. It works well with git and other version control systems as well. That said, it's obviously Mac OS only, so if you don't use Mac OS, you can safely ignore it or feel a mild twinge of jealousy for your lack of it.
