No ARM-version means bye, bye. Still, a great app, so if you're on intel it's quite usable. For now I use the FileMerge app, which comes with XCode.

Apparently MU has missed the posting from Sampler, below, that this app is FREE. Paid registration is optional, and enables certain unspecified fancy features (the only one mentioned is "HTML Export", whatever that is). From the app's splash screen "SourceGear DiffMerge is an award-winning file diff and merge tool that has been helping professional developers and hobbyists since 2007. SourceGear DiffMerge is licensed for use free of charge. However, by registering DiffMerge you will help fund new product development, maintenance, and support. As a way of thanking our registered users and encouraging additional registrations, we have added some new features in 4.2..."

MU: CURRENT VERSION IS FREE.

My wife had somehow duplicated a sizable folder (hundreds of files) and saved to both versions. Diffmerge was the only free or demo app I could find that showed me the folder differences and then successfully merged them. I registered for $19.00, which added some report export functions.

An update is long overdue. There is still an active support forum, with questions answered; feature requests and bug reports taken; and for at least one bug, a fix version available privately. Diffmerge 4.20 is also a part of one of SourceGear's commercial products, so you'd think there is incentive to update.
