JuxtaCode – native Git diff tool for macOS

In plain words

JuxtaCode is a native macOS application for viewing Git diffs and managing merge conflicts. Users point it at a repository, then select commits to compare and open files in a 3-way-merge tool. It functions as a standalone app designed for developers who need to quickly review branch differences and resolve merge conflicts without switching between multiple tools.

From the sources

A precise Git diff and merge tool for macOS.

Browse commits, compare branches, and see how a file changed over time. When a merge gets difficult, JuxtaCode surfaces the context and gives you a precise three-way editor to finish the job. David Smith , maker of Widgetsmith, Watchsmith, Pedometer++ and Sleep++, found JuxtaCode worked better for the way he reviews his code changes. Move through the timeline in the sidebar to inspect fully expanded changesets with syntax highlighting. Select any two commits or branches for a focused side-by-side review. Open a file to follow its complete history, even when it has been renamed or moved. Search commits by message, hash, branch, or tag, then filter files by name, type, or kind of change.…from juxtacode.app

  Deff – Side-by-side Git diff review in your terminalFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲120

  deff is an interactive Rust TUI for reviewing git diffs side-by-side with syntax highlighting and added/deleted line tinting. It supports keyboard/mouse navigation, vim-style motions, in-diff search (/, n, N), per-file reviewed toggles, and both upstream-based and explicit --base/--head comparisons. It can also include uncommitted + untracked files (--include-uncommitted) so you can review your working tree before committing. Would love to get some feedback

  I rebuilt the only parts of my IDE I use, in Rust, over a weekendJun 2026 · github.com · ▲50

  I don't know Rust. Friday after work I realised that 90% of my IDE time now is just the commit/diff view — and even good IDEs feel heavy for that. So over the weekend I built a dedicated native tool for just that. Kyde is a macOS git commit + diff editor with one goal: be fast, do Git well. I'm curious whether anyone else mostly opens their IDE for git operations these days. It's open source, and there's a signed app in Releases.

  Non.io, a Reddit-like platform Ive been working on for the last 4 years▲1,943

  Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
