Code Review in one clear Changeset

Want to see exactly what your coworker did in that changeset? Or just learn something new by reviewing a change in an open-source repository? Or do you need to review a change later? Kaleidoscope gives you a great overview and helpful features to focus on what matters.

Overview

Kaleidoscope integrates even more tightly with your workflows and adds highly-requested features like syntax coloring and merge editing.

Syntax Coloring

Kaleidoscope renders your source code visually appealing and easier to read by applying customizable styling with multiple built-in themes. All popular languages are supported.

Comparison ➔ Merge

Have you always wanted to manually edit text in a comparison? Use the new Convert to Merge command and make the changes you want!

Text Filters

Powerful filters clean up diffs by removing irrelevant data, such as time stamps, object addresses and unique identifiers, and make it easy to see the important differences.

Kaleidoscope Prism

A new helper app in the menu bar makes it even easier to get content into Kaleidoscope! Includes a drop window and shortcuts.

Debugger Integration

Welcome Python developers! Now you can launch a comparison directly from your debugger. 

Many Refinements

File metadata comparison, better menu structure, a modernized look, and much, much more make Kaleidoscope an even greater pleasure to use.
