Innesta — Git, made native.
Git for macOS. Native, fast, built for your flow.
Launch price
Diffs you can actually read.
Inline or side by side, with synced line numbers, syntax colouring, a minimap when the patch runs long, and the exact changed part marked inside the line. Stage a hunk or a single change: point at it in the gutter, or drag across a block and apply it in one step. Images preview in place, huge files stay responsive, and anything you want more room for opens in a window of its own.
No blind pulls. No blind pushes.
Before a pull, Innesta fetches and lists the files about to land. Before a push, the ones about to leave. Both carry an Open Diff button that puts the whole change in a window of its own, so you decide with the real diff in front of you — and a force push makes you type the branch name first.
Every commit, one search away.
The graph draws lanes you can actually follow — branches, merges and all — and only renders what's on screen, so scrolling stays smooth. Search the full text of your history and narrow it down by author, file or branch. Pick any two commits and see exactly what changed between them.
CI pipelines and Pull requests, always under control.
Connect GitHub or GitLab once and your pull requests, merge requests and pipeline runs live in the sidebar, refreshing every ten seconds while a run is going and every minute when none is, so a new run turns up without a manual refresh. Open a job and its log streams in underneath — terminal colours intact, searchable with ⌘F. Read-only on purpose: Innesta never merges, retries or cancels anything for you.
Releases, without the checklist.
Start a feature, a release or a hotfix and Innesta handles the ritual. A release finds your version in package.json, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml, Info.plist — or wherever a pattern you define puts it — bumps it, merges into main, writes the annotated tag and merges back into develop. It checks first for anything that would go wrong — conflicts, uncommitted work, commits you never pushed.
Commit messages, written on your Mac.
On a Mac with Apple Intelligence, Innesta drafts the message from what you staged — on the device. No account, no API key, no bill. Prefer a different model? Give permission once and it uses the Claude Code or Codex CLI already on your Mac. Pick the voice: imperative, Conventional Commits, gitmoji, descriptive, or whatever this repo already does.
Feature by feature,
the daily work.
Sync, spelled out
Three toolbar buttons: Sync with Remote fetches, Pull and Push carry a badge with the commits waiting. Repository ▸ Sync (⇧⌘S) reads the two counts and runs fetch, pull, push, or both — and pushes only if the pull came out clean.
Undo is the default
Discarded changes, hard resets and deleted branches all keep a recoverable backup for 7 days. Each one shows you what it removes first — the exact diff, or the commits at risk.
Conflicts in three panes
Ours on the left, theirs on the right, your result in the middle. One action clears the hunks that were never really a choice — you both made the same edit, or only one side moved — and the resolution is staged for you once the last real conflict is decided.
Blame with a heat map
Annotations in the gutter, shaded by age — the warmer the line, the more recently it changed. Click one for the commit and the diff it came from.
⌘K, then anything
The command palette holds the actions you use most, and shows the shortcut for every command that has one. Type
innesta .in a repo folder to open it — same window if it's already open.A real Mac app
SwiftUI and AppKit, not a website in a box. Spotlight finds your commits, Quick Look previews diffs from Finder, and your credentials live in the Keychain.
