Your entire workflow,
one command palette.
Press ⌘K to search every Git action or enter a commit message. Run anything without leaving the keyboard, with every shortcut visible as you go.
Quick Commit already knows
the right repo.
Open it from a Claude or ChatGPT chat, your code editor or terminal. Nimble identifies the active conversation or project and opens with the right repo already selected. AI writes the message, then ⇧Tab stages, commits and pushes. No repo hunting. No window switching.
GitHub and Bitbucket, built in.
Work with hosted repositories without breaking your flow. GitHub and Bitbucket are part of the same fast, native workflow as everything else in Nimble.
- Clone repositories from GitHub or Bitbucket
- Publish a local repository in a few clicks
- Search pull requests quickly from the ⌘K command palette
- Create and open pull requests from your current branch
Turn Linear issues into branches.
Keep issue tracking close to the code. Create a Linear issue from Nimble, or pick an existing issue and start a correctly named branch from it.
- Create new Linear issues without leaving Nimble
- Find an existing issue from ⌘K
- Create a branch using Linear's suggested branch name

Not a web page in a window.
Nimble is written in 100% native Swift with SwiftUI and AppKit, so it launches instantly, sips memory, and feels like a Mac app because it is one. No bundled browser engine. No hundred-megabyte download. Just open a repo and it's there.
Your code stays yours.
No account. No cloud. Your repositories never leave your Mac.
Signed & notarized
Distributed as a Developer-ID-signed, Apple-notarized DMG. Gatekeeper opens it cleanly.
Anonymous diagnostics
Crash and usage diagnostics are always anonymous, never tied to you, and switch off with one click in Settings.
Local-first
Git runs on your machine through your own git. Repositories are never proxied through a server.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Nimble free?
Nimble is a paid app with a free 14-day trial. After the trial you buy a one-time license for $49, with no subscription. You can try every feature during the trial.
Does Nimble work on Intel Macs?
Yes. Nimble is a universal app that runs on Apple silicon and Intel, on macOS 14.0 Sonoma or later.
Is Nimble on the Mac App Store?
No. Nimble is distributed directly as a notarized DMG signed with an Apple Developer ID. Staying off the App Store lets it offer features the sandbox forbids, like the context-aware Quick Commit hotkey, and keeps updates instant via Sparkle.
Does Nimble send my code anywhere?
No. Git runs locally on your machine through your own git install. AI commit messages are opt-in, use your own API key, and a built-in redactor strips secrets before any diff is sent. Credentials are stored in the macOS Keychain.
Is Nimble a good SourceTree, Fork, or Tower alternative?
Yes. Nimble is a fast, 100% native macOS Git client built as a modern alternative to SourceTree, Fork, and Tower, with hunk-level staging, a commit graph, a command palette, and a one-time price instead of a subscription.
How is Nimble different from Electron clients like GitKraken?
Nimble is written entirely in native Swift with SwiftUI and AppKit, not Electron. It launches instantly, uses far less memory, and feels like a real Mac app, with native menus, scrolling, and keyboard shortcuts.
How do I activate my license?
After buying, Lemon Squeezy emails you a license key. Open Nimble, paste the key on the Activate screen, and click Activate. Each license includes 2 activations, which you can manage or move from the customer portal.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Nimble has a 14-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. Email us or use the Lemon Squeezy order portal and we’ll refund your purchase.
