This little app will compare two folders on your macintosh and tell you any differences between the two – not something you’ll use a lot but very handy for when you need it. I just used it to compare an old list of songs to a current list in a different folder and it told me I had added 6 songs – useful!

Thanks for picking that up – Beeper Desktop is for Mac plus they have a phone version.
You don’t say if this Beeper app is for Mac or for iOS/iPadOS, and I can’t really tell by looking…
THis is so handy – still using it in 2026!
What’s wrong with Apple’s FileMerge? I find it great as a programmer. It can be invoked via a terminal via opendiff and even hooked up to your favourite version control system (I use mercurial myself). If you really want, you can even run filters over the input first (as I do for some files to translate the ugly Emacs markup I have to use).
This is exactly what I was looking for, but it’s not in the App Store anymore. Can you comment here with the dev info so I can track it down?
