Fork is a native Git GUI client for Mac and Windows with visual merge conflict resolution and interactive rebase. One-time price of $59.99 after a free trial.
Fork is a Git client with a graphical interface for macOS and Windows, built to make common version control tasks — committing, branching, merging, and reviewing history — faster to do visually than by memorizing command-line syntax. It started as a personal project by developers Dan Pristupov and Tanya Pristupova, who originally built it for themselves and friends before it grew into a commercial product they now work on full-time.
Unlike Git clients bundled into larger platforms (like GitHub Desktop or GitLab's web UI), Fork is a standalone, native application built separately for Mac (in Swift/Cocoa) and Windows (in .NET/WPF), which the developers say helps it stay fast and feel consistent with each operating system's conventions.
Fork's core strength is handling the trickier parts of Git visually: it provides a dedicated interface for resolving merge conflicts, an interactive rebase tool for reordering, squashing, or editing commits before they're pushed, and image diff support for comparing changes to binary assets like design files, which plain-text diff tools can't do.
It also supports line-by-line staging (so only part of a file's changes go into a commit), a reflog view for recovering commits that seem lost, and built-in support for Git LFS, git-flow branching conventions, and GPG-signed commits. GitHub notification integration and repository management (cloning, adding, and creating repos) round out the day-to-day workflow.
Fork is sold as a one-time purchase priced at $59.99, which covers a license usable on both Mac and Windows rather than charging separately per platform. There's no subscription; buyers pay once and keep using that version.
A free trial is available before purchase, letting developers evaluate the interface and workflow on their own repositories before committing to the license fee. This one-time pricing model is notably different from many modern dev tools that have shifted to monthly subscriptions.
