Since

A fast, keyboard-first Git client for macOS. The main screen is a live commit graph you operate on directly, with undo and redo for every change to your repository. Built to supervise and land agent work.

• A live commit graph you work on directly: branch, rebase, merge, stash and clean up from the graph.
• Undo and redo for every ref change, stash and config edit.
• Keyboard-first, with a ⌘K command palette for every action.
• Light and dark themes.
• Uses the git already on your Mac. No accounts, no telemetry; the network calls it makes are listed in docs/security.md.

Install

Download the latest build for Apple silicon or Intel from gitsince.com/download. Since needs macOS 12 or later. You can also build it from source (below).

Development

You need macOS, Node.js 24 (see .nvmrc), Git and pnpm. pnpm is required; npm, yarn and bun installs are blocked.

corepack enable      # once: provides the pnpm version pinned in package.json
pnpm install
pnpm desktop [-- path/to/repo]
pnpm test            # unit tests for every package
pnpm web             # website dev server
pnpm web:build       # static build into apps/web/dist, plus an internal link check
pnpm dist            # unsigned macOS DMGs into apps/desktop/dist

Path	What
apps/desktop	The Electron app (README)
apps/web	The website (Astro, static)
packages/tokens	Colour tokens for both themes, shared by the site (and mirrored in the desktop app)
docs	Security and network audit, performance notes, building and releasing

The end-to-end tests (Playwright + Electron) open real Since windows. Run one spec at a time from apps/desktop:

pnpm exec playwright test -c e2e undo.spec.js --workers=1
