For checked in changes, there is the timeline. Each checkin is
placed in time (and on a graph showing branches and merges too).
Click on a checkin to get the details including a list of files.
Each file has a page where you can see diffs, and even a timeline
specific to that file.

Changes that are not checked in are generally not visible to
fossil. One exception is the ability to use the wiki render
engine to display documents in fossil wiki markup at any revision
from the repository, or from the open checkout known to that
instance of fossil ui.

Personally, I've found that "fossil diff foo.c" is sufficient for
remembering what I was in the middle of, because I try very hard
to never walk away from a project without checking in, even if it
is incomplete. Branches are so facile that it is easy to put the
development of a larger feature on a branch while its in progress
so that broken builds don't block the possibility of an emergency
bug fix or investigation.
