Gitfox is a Git client written only for the Mac, and it feels like it from the first minute. Built in Swift with native controls, it opens fast and stays light even when a repository grows large. Changes, the commit log and your branches sit where you expect them, with nothing extra shouting for attention. Review a diff line by line, stage only what you want, and push with confidence.

Key Features

• Clean diff view with split and unified layouts and clear line counts
• Stage whole files or single lines, with helpful commit message autocomplete
• Branch, tag and stash tools in the sidebar, with push and pull nearby
• Guided conflict view to keep one side, the other side, both or neither
• Built in accounts for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Gitea, plus SSH support

How to Download

1. Download from the official site and start the free trial or add your licence.
2. Open the downloaded file and move Gitfox into your Applications folder.
3. Launch Gitfox, open or clone a repository, and sign in if needed.

System Requirements

The maker states that Gitfox needs macOS 15.0 or later and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs as one universal app. Existing Git setups and SSH keys keep working.

FAQs

Is there a free trial of Gitfox?

Yes. The official site offers a 30 day trial with full features and no card required.

Does Gitfox work with the Git hosts I already use?

It supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Gitea accounts, and plain SSH remotes work as usual.

Is Gitfox a native Mac app or a web wrapper?

It is native, written in Swift with AppKit, so it opens quickly and follows normal Mac behaviour.
