Meld for macOS
brew install --cask meld
v3.22.3+105
Side-by-side visual diff and merge tool for files and directories.
Why you might care
Meld is lightweight, open-source, and excels at comparing and merging text files and whole directory trees with an intuitive 3-way merge UI. It's a go-to choice for developers who need a standalone alternative to command-line diff tools and want immediate visual feedback without IDE overhead.
