I’ve got like 10 different versions of the same prompt in my Notes app because I keep tweaking it and saving a “just in case this one is better” copy.
Then I later look at them and have no clue what actually shifted between v2 and v4. Did I remove the example I/O? Did I add more context? Delete something?
I’d end up opening them side-by-side and manually scanning for differences.
So I made BestDiff – paste two prompts and instantly see what changed.
What it does:
- Drop in prompt v1 and v2 → instant visual diff, track-changes style
- Detects every word/punctuation change (compare runs at word/character level)
- Spots moved text too
- “Copy for LLM” button formats edits as {++added++} / {–removed–} so you can throw it back into ChatGPT and ask “which version works better?”
- Works fully offline (100% private, nothing leaves your device)
When I actually use it:
- Testing whether extra examples/context improved results
- Comparing “short/concise” vs. “long/detailed” versions
- Checking what I changed when I revert to an older draft
- Seeing differences between prompts that performed well vs. poorly
Would love any feedback on what would make it more helpful for prompt-testing workflows !
