The Tower alternative for Mac
Create, browse, and prune git worktrees across every repo from one native window — paid once.
Tower is a complete git GUI on a subscription. nobranch focuses on one workflow it handles especially cleanly: git worktrees — create, browse, and prune them across all your repositories, with open presets for Finder, Terminal, and your editor — for $4.99 once. Keep Tower for full git; reach for nobranch when you live in worktrees.
