Tower

Tower is a graphical Git client for Mac and Windows, used by over 100,000 developers and designers according to its site. It puts a visual interface on Git so that advanced actions can be done with drag and drop instead of remembered commands. Interactive rebase, single-line staging, cherry-pick, submodules, Git LFS, Git-Flow, file history and blame are all listed. Tower can also be used side by side with the command line or an IDE such as Xcode, so existing habits do not have to change.

A large part of the pitch is safety. The site lists undoing local changes, restoring old revisions, reverting commits, recovering deleted commits and undoing branch deletions. Merge conflicts are solved visually, the app shows which commits have not been synced with the remote, and it handles SSH keys, usernames, passwords and tokens. It connects to GitHub, Atlassian Bitbucket, GitLab, Azure DevOps and Perforce, works with any other code host because it uses pure Git, and supports external diff tools such as Kaleidoscope and Beyond Compare.

Tower is sold as a per-user subscription billed annually, with prices shown in dollars. Basic costs $69 for individuals, Pro costs $129 for professionals and small teams with 10% off at 10+ seats, and Enterprise costs $149 and adds SAML-based SSO, invoicing and wire transfer, and priority support. All plans include Mac and Windows versions and a 30 days money back guarantee. A 30-day trial needs no credit card and includes all Pro features, and students, teachers and educational institutions can use Tower for free.

Before buying, note that Tower is a subscription, so access ends when the most recently paid-up period ends after cancelling. There is no free plan beyond the trial, and the site says it prefers a full trial to a stripped-down free tier. Some features ship only with Pro, and team management, SSO and invoicing sit on higher plans. Prices are listed in dollars, so Indian buyers should confirm how the amount and any tax appear on the invoice. The licence agreement is governed by German law.
