Getting started

Since works on the git repositories you already have. There is no account to create and nothing to import.

Install

  1. Download Since. There are separate disk images for Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
  2. Open the disk image and drag Since into Applications.
  3. Open Since from Applications.

Requirements: macOS 12 or later, and git. Since uses the git already on your Mac, with your config, hooks and credentials. If git isn't installed, run xcode-select --install in Terminal to get Apple's Command Line Tools, or install git with Homebrew.

Open a repository

The welcome window lists recent repositories. Pick one with ↑ ↓ and press ↵, or:
