Best TFS Viewer for Team Leader

Is there a tool that can give you a quick overview of all TFS changes over the entire day.

Essentially, rather than seeing all the changes one commit at a time, I would like to see all the changes made in a day. Essentially, the viewer combines all the changes into one view. We are using the new version of TFS

hosted on VisualStudio.com.

In VS "Source Control Explorer" you can right click on a folder and select "Compare". In this dialog, you can compare the original folder with the source by selecting a specific changeset or date for the second instance. This will give you an idea of ​​what changed on the last day.
