Text List Reconciler
Compare two lists locally and review exact, normalized, missing, duplicate, and possible matches.
The problem it solves
Text List Reconciler Text List Reconciler compares two arbitrary lists without sending them anywhere. It separates exact matches, normalization-only matches, cautious near-match suggestions, list-specific values, and duplicates so the result can be reviewed instead of guessed.
Who Text List Reconciler is for
- People who need a small, purpose-built utility instead of a broad platform.
- Users working with lists, comparison, privacy who want the documented v1.0.0 behavior.
- People who prefer an open-source release with visible limitations, source, and license terms.
Intended result
Compare two lists locally and review exact, normalized, missing, duplicate, and possible matches.
This summary is reconciled from the current catalog and repository documentation.

Verified examples
Screenshots are shown only when the current README references a local source image. Otherwise, repository example files are linked directly.
Verified release evidence
This project does not currently publish a screenshot or dedicated example folder. The current README, tests, changelog, tagged release, and source repository remain the verified examples of its behavior.
Platforms and implementation
The public release claims only the cataloged platforms and technologies.
Supported platforms
- Web
Built with
- JavaScript
- HTML
- CSS
Quick start
The shortest documented path into the current release.
- Paste one item per line into List A and List B, or import text/CSV files.
- Select explicit normalization rules.
- Compare the lists.
- Review possible matches rather than accepting them silently.
- Export the complete result as CSV.
Normalization can ignore capitalization, trim or collapse whitespace, ignore punctuation, and remove common list numbering. Near-match suggestions use a conservative edit-distance threshold that becomes stricter for short strings.
Current limitations
These boundaries are part of the product and prevent the page from implying unverified capability.
- CSV import treats each physical line as an item; it does not select or parse individual CSV columns in v1.0.
- Near matches are suggestions, not accepted merges.
- The application does not save list contents between sessions.
- Very large lists may be slow because cautious near-match comparison examines unmatched pairs.
Privacy and licensing
Review the actual data boundary before using a tool with sensitive inputs.
