Foldly
1

privacy workflow
Compare sensitive documents offline on Mac or iPad
If the main requirement is 'do not upload this text', you need a comparison workflow that stays local. Foldly runs as a native Mac and iPad app, opens supported files directly, and compares their text on-device so you can review changes without moving the work into a browser.

How to do it in Foldly
2
Add the second version from local storage
Open the edited file or paste the alternate version into a comparison column.
3
Review differences entirely on-device
Use the side-by-side comparison view to inspect rewritten lines and decide what to keep.
4
Save the final plain-text result locally
When your review is done, export the final text to a local file under your own storage controls.
Why offline matters here
Privacy constraints change the tool choice, not just the wording of the query.
- Client drafts may not belong in web editors
- Internal policy or legal text may need local handling
- Prompt outputs can still contain sensitive context
What Foldly does and does not promise
Foldly helps keep the comparison workflow local, but it does not replace your broader file-access, backup, or device-security policies.
Example scenario
Reviewing a client draft locally
A consultant compares a locally stored original proposal with a revised DOCX export on a Mac without moving either file into a browser tool.
Outcome: They finalize the wording offline and send only the final approved text.
Limits and caveats
- If a document is image-only PDF, Foldly does not OCR it, so there may be no extracted text to compare.
- Offline comparison reduces exposure in the comparison step, but your surrounding file-sharing habits still determine overall privacy.
