What Gitfox is

Gitfox is a native Git client for macOS for reviewing diffs, staging changes, managing branches and resolving conflicts. It shows inline change highlights, multiple diff layouts and algorithms, whitespace drawing and image comparison. Repository tools include granular staging, interactive rebase, bisect, reflog recovery, snapshots and a conflict editor. Gitfox can draft commit messages from staged changes with Claude or Codex. Built-in account support covers GitHub, GitLab, GitLab Self-Managed, Bitbucket and Gitea, while issue autocomplete supports GitHub, GitLab, Gitea and Jira Cloud issues. Repositories stay local; the app connects for license checks, updates and crash reports, not telemetry about clicks, commits or code. It requires macOS 26.0 or later and supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Pro costs €5.00 per month billed yearly; Team costs €6.00 per month billed yearly. A 30-day trial is available.
