Tower

Overview checked Oct 6, 2026.

Tower is a desktop Git client for Mac users who want a dedicated place to inspect a working copy, move between branches, and read diffs before they commit. Its macOS product page frames the app around everyday repository work rather than a hosted forge, so it can be useful for people who prefer reviewing changes in a visual client while keeping the repository local. The official Mac product page now lists Tower 17.3. The previously inspected 17.1.1 build contained Intel and Apple-silicon executable slices and specified macOS 14.0; the current 17.3 package declares macOS 14.0 as its minimum; its CPU architecture was not checked in this maintenance review. Tower offers a 30-day Pro trial; its pricing page describes a subscription purchase with a license that works across the macOS and Windows versions. This is a tool for Git workflows, not a substitute for understanding what a change will do. A clear diff can help you notice an unintended edit, but it cannot decide whether a migration, generated file, or merge result is safe. Start in a disposable or non-critical repository, compare the exact files that will be staged, and keep remote operations deliberate. If the subscription route matters, confirm the current plan and renewal terms on Tower's pricing page before purchasing.
