The most powerful Git client for Mac and Windows

Visit Tower

Tower is a desktop Git client for macOS and Windows that provides a graphical interface for Git version control. It is designed to make advanced Git operations accessible through visual workflows, including drag-and-drop actions, undo for local changes and commits, visual conflict resolution, and a clear view of repository history and unsynced commits.

Tower includes features such as pull requests, single-line staging, interactive rebase, a Conflict Wizard, submodules, Git LFS, Git-Flow support, file history, blame, cherry-pick, worktrees, quick actions, single-click cloning, and automatic stashing and fetching. It integrates with GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Perforce, and other hosting services, and supports external diff and merge tools alongside its built-in viewer. AI Commits and automatic branch management are also listed among its capabilities.

Tower is aimed at developers, designers, and non-technical users working with Git. It is offered as a subscription with Basic, Pro, and Enterprise editions, licensed per user and covering both macOS and Windows. A 30-day free trial of the Pro edition is available without a credit card, and free access is offered to students, educators, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations.
