Graphical history
Choose the view that matches the question you are asking.
Some days you need a dense commit list. Other days you need to see branch movement, ancestry, or where a merge returned. Gitify now gives you multiple lenses over the same repository data.
Git Metro
A lane-based history view with branch filters, chronology controls, and working-tree visibility connected to HEAD.
Branch River
A vertical branch journey that uses thicker ribbons and contributor avatars to make starts, merges, and commit ownership easier to read.
Commit Radar
A radial view for spotting branch activity, merge paths, and the commit currently under inspection at a glance.
Branch River
Follow the branch journey.
An ancestry-first view for reading starts, merges, contributors, and the shape of a branch over time.
Git Metro
Branch lanes that stay legible.
Metro keeps the commit journey flat when that is the useful view: filtered branches, time direction, compact spacing, and a minimap.
Commit Radar
See history in a whole new dimension.
The radial view makes branch activity, merges, and the selected commit easy to scan without losing the surrounding context.
Repository Universe
Watch the repository move.
The animated Universe view brings repository history to life so the relationship between branches and commits is easy to explore.
Daily workflow
The repo, the diff, and the remote context stay in one working surface.
Command deck
Scan saved repositories, work in progress, sync drift, stashes, tags, and connected accounts before opening a repo.
Focused review
Stage files, inspect unified or split diffs, review hunks, and keep the selected commit or working tree in context.
Hosted context
Bring GitHub pull requests, issues, actions, accounts, and Azure DevOps sign-in beside the local Git workflow.
Local first
Open, commit, branch, stash, merge, rebase, pull, and push with local Git even when no hosting account is connected.
Classic history, at a glance
When you want the familiar view, Classic keeps commits, branches, changes, authors, and the working tree in one readable workspace.
GitHub and Azure DevOps, connected
Choose GitHub, Azure DevOps, GitLab, or a clone URL from the Repository Management flow, then bring hosted context into the local-first workflow.
What is covered
The local repository day, end to end.
Gitify is not trying to hide Git. It gives the commands and state you already trust a calmer desktop surface.
History
Classic, River, Metro, and Universe views share the same Git data while keeping parent relationships and selection behaviour intact.
Changes
Pending, conflicted, untracked, and ignored filters with unified or split diffs, syntax colour, hunk actions, and file revision inspection.
Branches
Checkout, create, merge, rebase, interactive rebase stops, remote visibility, stashes, tags, and ahead/behind status.
Repository management
Open local repositories, browse recents, clone from URL, or choose repositories from connected GitHub, Azure DevOps, and GitLab accounts.
Overview
A multi-repository command deck for finding the repos that need attention before you dive into code.
Release candidate
Ready to try on Windows.
The latest branch has the graphical history work pushed, tested, and documented. The app remains local-first and provider sign-in stays optional for core Git work. Windows, macOS, and Linux builds are available for this release candidate.
