Free Mac GitHub

Your branches, clearly.

Git without the chaos. Canopy shows you every branch, what it’s for, and what’s blocking it — in one calm view.

macOS 13+·Free forever·Your data stays local


You’re building something real.
Your Git hygiene shouldn’t hold you back.

You’ve got four branches open. One is waiting on a PR to merge. One is blocked by an issue Ben hasn’t resolved yet. One you started three weeks ago and can’t remember why.

You’ve been keeping notes in Apple Notes. Or a Notion doc. Or a text file named branches-FINAL-v2.txt.

Canopy fixes this. One view. Every branch. No terminal required.


Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.

Branch tree, at a glance

Every local branch organized by relationship. Stacked features shown as stacked branches. See which is parked on which, without running a single command.

Status that actually means something

Is this branch waiting on a PR? Blocked by an issue? Ready to merge? Set a structured status with one click, and Canopy tracks the blocker live from GitHub.

Notes that stay with the branch

One line for your next step. A text field for your “why this branch exists” brain dump. It’s there every time you come back.

The whole picture, in one calm view.
