Show HN: Diff Pro Max – File Compare App

Wed, 09/23/2026 - 1:26pm

An offline app for comparing differences in text, floders, images, PDF, Excel files.

Checkng for diffences is a task that comes up frequently in many types of work.

I wonderd to make the convenience of Git accessible even to those who don't normally use it.

I am a Japanese independent developer with 18 years of experience in web development.

What you can do with the app, Text (150+ languages; merging),Folders,Images (pixel-level),Audio/Video (synchronized playback),PDF / Word / PowerPoint (on-the-fly OCR for scanned PDFs),Excel (cell-level),Maintain file version history without using Git, File extraction function.

When you specify a folder and set conditions, only the matching files are exported to a separate folder while preserving their original directory structure.

The app itself does not communicate over the network. There is no telemetry or account system.

Text comparison is free and unlimited. Other modes are limited to three uses per day. Pro is a one-time purchase($14.99).

Mac / Windows

Please feel free to ask any questions.

Show HN: Open Code for Jev

Wed, 09/23/2026 - 11:25am

Hi everyone, I built this TUI for jev with the main goal to make Jev immediately accessible and to be able to have decision templates similar to how we have skills for LLMs.

Additionally I wanted to have a dashboard for our own software displaying the usage of Jev and being able to improve the decisions over time by giving jev feedback in the context.

I really love the look and feel of early open code so this is what I went with.

Please let me know what you think about it.
