Tower — The most powerful Git client for Mac and Windows

Tower is a desktop Git client for Mac and Windows with over 100,000 users. It provides a graphical interface for Git operations—ranging from basics like drag-and-drop commits and one-key undo (⌘+Z) to advanced features like interactive rebase, submodules, and Git LFS—while still exposing what makes Git powerful. Recent releases include Tower 18 for Mac (a revamped command line experience) and Tower 14 for Windows (Branches Review), both updated as of October 6, 2026.

Key Features

Git Made Easy

Drag and drop, undo everything with ⌘+Z, stacked branches support, AI Commits, and automatic branch management simplify everyday Git work.

Full Advanced Git Power

Pull Requests, single-line staging, interactive rebase, Conflict Wizard, submodules, Git LFS, Git-Flow, file history, blame, and cherry-pick.

Productivity Tools

Quick actions, single-click cloning, quick open, worktrees, workflows, and automatic stashing and fetching.

Pull Requests & Services Manager

Manage pull requests and cloud code hosting services including GitHub.com, Bitbucket.org, GitLab.com, and Azure DevOps (GitHub Enterprise, Bitbucket Server, GitLab EE/CE, and Azure DevOps Server require the Pro plan).

Cross-Platform Licensing

A single license works on both macOS and Windows, with x64 and ARM builds available.

Team & Enterprise Management

Pro adds basic team management, billing and admin roles, and consolidated billing; Enterprise adds advanced team management, invoicing and wire transfer, priority support, advanced deployment and activation, and SAML-based SSO.

How It Works

Install Tower on Mac or Windows

Download the free 30-day trial (full Pro edition, no credit card required) for macOS or Windows, in x64 or ARM variants.

Connect Your Repositories and Hosting Services

Clone repositories with a single click, work with branches, commits, and pull requests, and connect to GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, or Azure DevOps through the Pull Requests & Services Manager.

Master Git Visually

Use drag-and-drop, undo, the Conflict Wizard, and interactive rebase to perform Git operations visually, while retaining access to Git's full power. Free email courses like 'Learn Git with Tower' and 'Tips & Tricks for Tower' help you get up to speed.
