Current limitations
These boundaries are part of the product and prevent the page from implying unverified capability.
Processing is local and read-only. Reports may contain usernames, device identifiers, or tokens from supplied files; review them before sharing. The comparator does not understand proprietary binary formats, judge whether a setting is good, or promise that two differently formatted keys represent the same option.
Privacy and licensing
Review the actual data boundary before using a tool with sensitive inputs.
