From agent work
to reviewed code.
Follow supported agent activity into the affected checkout. Review the changes, then run checks that become stale when the code changes.
Review confidence · Pro
Know what you reviewed—and what changed.
Mark files reviewed and run your checks. Later edits bring files back to your attention and make earlier results stale.
- Review the current diff file by file
- Run an explicit check with timeout and cancellation
- Keep results tied to the checkout that was tested

GitGlow and GitKraken solve different shapes of work.
The full comparison names what each product includes, what requires a paid plan, and where the available evidence is incomplete.
Agent context is connected to the checkout
Observed and managed runs can carry repository, checkout, event, and attributed-file context into the same Changes workflow.
GitKraken covers a broader provider ecosystem
Both products include an embedded terminal. GitKraken also documents wider hosted-provider support and shared cloud workspaces. Product fit depends on the workflow you value.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about GitGlow's privacy, compatibility, and pricing.
Local status, diffs, history, repository paths, previews, and audit records stay on your device. If you connect GitHub, GitGlow sends only the GitHub requests needed for installed repositories through the GitGlow API. Tokens never enter the desktop webview or MCP responses.
GitGlow publishes macOS, Windows x64, and Linux x86_64/aarch64 desktop packages. GitGlow 2.0.5 has been manually checked on macOS. Windows and Linux packages are build-validated for architecture, version, payloads, sidecars, and checksums without runtime claims.
Free MCP access is read-only. Pro can preview an allow-listed Git or GitHub action, but every MCP-originated write waits for native approval in Agent Observatory while the desktop app is open. GitGlow excludes arbitrary shell or Git commands, destructive cleanup, history editing, force pushes, and PR merges. Release publication is available only through Release Workspace after a fresh guarded preview and explicit final confirmation.
Yes. Free works with a private local clone without an account and includes one active repository or checkout, precise staging, commits, branches, sync, merge, conflict resolution, stashes, tags, topology history, compare, blame, reflog, basic observation, latest Replay, manual Indie Log, analytics, export, and read-only MCP. Free also includes terminal tabs in the active checkout. Pro is €2.99/month or €29/year and adds concurrent terminal sessions, review freshness, verification tied to checkout state, multi-repository fetch, guarded history editing, concurrent workspaces, managed agents, advanced Observatory review and Replays, GitHub integration, Release Workspace, managed Indie Log, and MCP writes. AI provider subscriptions and API usage are separate. Existing subscriptions retain their current terms.
Observed sessions remain owned by their originating Desktop or CLI client. GitGlow monitors supported hook events and independent Git changes, but hides message, approval, and interrupt controls unless the provider exposes a supported channel. Runs launched by GitGlow are Managed and can expose those controls.
