MS Excel is still a go-to tool for managing structured data, in development projects and possibly other fields.
Quick Diff ME is a small and instant tool for them.

Native executables for multiple platforms offered as GitHub Releases Assets
- To compare two Excel files
Well, Excel is great for tables, but comparing versioned files is a sort of nightmare. Unlike text-based formats, spreadsheets don’t have an easy way to track changes. That’s why I built it, an open-source tool that makes Excel diffs fast, readable, and efficient.
🧠 Instant diffs in a readable format, Unified Format
🔍 Spot changes at a glance
⚡ Smart memory usage. Handles large files with ease
It is experiment, and an aside project around another comparison tool project, Patch Hygge.
As to internal technology, it is written in Rust language and depends on them with big thanks:
- iced-rs/iced as to building OS-native GUI app
- tafia's calamine and quick-xml, zip-rs/zip2, etc. as to comparing sheets via sheets-diff
Thank you for your reading 👋🤍
