You asked for 1 thing. Your agent changed 12 files.

Diffward shows what the agent touched, what you touched, and the 4 files you never asked for.

Beta Free No account

The run finished. The review just started.

You turned off approval prompts because stopping at every edit made it hard to let the agent work.

Now the run ends with a multi-file diff full of code you did not write and did not watch happen.

git diff shows the resulting working tree. It does not show which hunks came from the agent, which came from you, or which files have nothing to do with the request.

Diffward keeps the whole session together and puts the 4 files you did not ask for at the top.

The collateral problem

Start with the part you did not ask for.

This session changed 12 files. 4 are collateral.

Ward Discard Pending review

What it does

Review the run, hunk by hunk.

Per-hunk review

Ward the change you want and discard the one you do not.

Attribution

See whether a hunk came from the agent, from you, or from an unknown source.

Collateral first

Files unrelated to your request move to the top of the review.

Any local agent

Use Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Cursor, or anything else that writes to disk.

An honest comparison

Choose when you want to review.

Claude Code Manual mode and Diffward solve different parts of the same problem.

	Claude Code Manual mode	Diffward
Timing	Before the write, blocking	After the write, non-blocking
Granularity	Whole edit or tool call	Per hunk
Review unit	One edit at a time	The whole session
Attribution	Not shown	Per-hunk origin
Collateral	Spread across individual prompts	Collected as the headline count
Agents	Claude Code	Any local agent that writes to disk
History	Approval is complete after the edit	Session review is kept locally

Manual mode lets you approve each edit before it lands. Diffward lets the run finish, then shows its shape as one review.
