Local Processing

Private by default for sensitive list work

The comparison logic runs in the browser. That makes the tool useful for customer lists, email exports, QA fixtures, and other workflows where copying raw data into a third-party backend would be a problem.

Your raw list stays local

The comparison happens in the browser, so you can inspect differences without sending each row to an API.

Useful for operational audits

Customer lists, suppression lists, keyword sets, and QA exports can be reviewed quickly before you touch the source system.

Built for one-off checks

Use the tool when you need a quick answer now, then move to Excel or Python if the workflow becomes recurring.
