Does DCompare transmit my source code or files to the cloud?

No. DCompare (DCo) operates 100% offline inside Apple's strict macOS App Sandbox. There is zero telemetry, no third-party analytics trackers, and zero network transmission of your code or files.

Is DCompare optimized for Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, M4)?

Yes. DCompare is compiled as a universal native macOS application powered by a high-speed Rust diffing core and runs natively on Apple Silicon M1, M2, M3, and M4 processors as well as Intel Macs on macOS 12.0 Monterey or later.

What happens if an error occurs while merging or syncing folders?

DCompare protects your data using atomic writes and automatic .bak backups before modifying any destination file. If any disk write is interrupted, the transaction rolls back cleanly.

Does DCompare support image comparison and 3-way directory comparison?

Yes. You can visually compare PNG, JPG, SVG, WebP, GIF, and ICO files side-by-side or via overlay, and run 3-way directory comparisons across Base, Local, and Remote folder trees.

Core Capabilities

Built for Engineers, Admins & Creators

Compare massive codebases, synchronize production folders safely, and resolve 3-way directory divergences with millisecond responsiveness.

📂

Recursive Folder Comparison

Scan directories with thousands of files in milliseconds. Synchronized side-by-side tree navigation with status badges and wildcard filtering (.git, node_modules).

🔍

Precision File Diffing

Side-by-side and unified diff views powered by dual Myers and Patience engines with word- and character-level intraline highlights and ignore-whitespace toggles.

🔀

Interactive Two-Way Merge

Surgically apply individual change hunks left-to-right or right-to-left with a single click, edit lines directly, export git .patch files, and inspect full audit logs.

🛡️

Atomic Write & Rollback Safety

Never lose work: DCompare creates an automatic atomic .bak backup before modifying destination files and cleanly rolls back if disk writes are interrupted.

🔄

One-Click Folder Sync Wizard

Mirror Left-to-Right, Right-to-Left, or execute intelligent bidirectional sync with rule-based conflict resolution, orphan deletion, and live action previews.

🔱

3-Way Directory Comparison

Compare Base (ancestor), Local, and Remote directories side-by-side to rapidly reconcile complex release branches and pinpoint conflicting changes.

🖼️

Visual Image Diffing

Inspect pixel dimensions, byte deltas, and visual fidelity differences across PNG, JPG, SVG, WebP, GIF, and ICO assets side-by-side or via overlay.

🔒

100% Private & Sandboxed

Operates strictly offline inside Apple's macOS App Sandbox. Zero telemetry, zero third-party analytics, and zero network transmission of your source code.

Frequently Asked Questions

DCompare Questions & Answers

Does DCompare upload or analyze my files on external servers?

Never. DCompare runs completely offline within Apple's strict macOS App Sandbox. It includes zero third-party telemetry or trackers, keeping proprietary source code and sensitive configurations strictly on your Mac.

What is the difference between Myers and Patience diff algorithms?

Myers is the industry-standard algorithm optimized for finding minimal edit scripts rapidly. Patience diff excels when refactoring code blocks—matching unique lines first to produce cleaner, more human-readable visual diffs without noisy interleaved matches. You can switch between both on the fly.

How does the Atomic Write & Backup protection work?

Whenever you apply merge hunks or execute a folder synchronization, DCompare automatically writes a verified .bak copy of the destination file and completes writes atomically. Every destructive action is also logged inside the built-in Audit Log modal.

Can DCompare ignore dependency folders like node_modules or .git?

Yes. You can apply instant search and wildcard exclusion filters (such as node_modules, .git, .DS_Store, or custom glob patterns) so directory scans focus exclusively on your active source files.
