Redliner
See every change between two versions.
Drop in the old and the new version of a contract, quote or policy: PDF, Word, RTF or text, scanned PDFs included. Redliner puts them side by side, highlights every added, removed and changed word, and lists each change with its page. Everything happens on your Mac.
Free to try: compares the first 3 pages of each file. Redliner Pro is a one-time $14.99 in-app purchase, not a subscription.
- No account
- Nothing uploaded
- PDF, Word and scans

TWELVE CHANGES. FOUND IN SECONDS.
Real app, sample contract: a changed date, fee, payment term and interest rate, side by side.
THE PROBLEM
SOUND FAMILIAR?
“Just a few small edits.”
The other side sends the contract back without Track Changes. Now you read both versions line by line.
Thirty days became forty-five
The edits that cost the most are small: a fee, a payment term, an interest rate.
Not on a website
Pasting a confidential contract into an online diff tool is not an option.
SIDE BY SIDE
Every change, highlighted on the page.
Added, removed and changed words are marked on both versions and listed one by one, so you can check them in order.
- Click a change and both pages jump to it
- Next and previous change with the arrow keys
- Works without Track Changes
SCANNED PDFS
Reads scans too.
Scanned contracts are read with Apple’s on-device text recognition. Changes found on a scan are labelled, so you can double-check them.
- No upload, no OCR service
- Highlights land on the scanned page
WORD, RTF, TEXT
Catch the changed price.
Open .docx, .doc, .rtf and .txt. The Numbers & dates filter shows only the amounts, days and percentages that moved.
- Mix formats: PDF on one side, Word on the other
- Numbers & dates filter

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
YOUR CONTRACTS NEVER LEAVE YOUR MAC.
Redliner compares text. It does not give legal advice.
No network access
The app has no permission to use the internet. Comparison runs entirely on your Mac.
Read only
Redliner only reads the two files you choose. It never changes, moves or deletes them.
No account, no tracking
No sign-up, no analytics, no data collected.
GETTING STARTED
A SIMPLER WAY TO START.
Drop in two versions
Add the original and the version that came back. PDF, Word, RTF or text, and they do not need to be the same format.
See every change
Both versions sit side by side with every addition, removal and edit highlighted. Click a change and both pages jump to it.
Check the numbers
Filter to changed amounts, dates and percentages so nothing slips by. With Pro, export a PDF report of every change.
