The native macOS app for effortlessly rewriting Git history. Move and squash commits with drag-and-drop, undo any mistake with ⌘Z, and get crystal-clear context at every step.
I'm a heavy Git user, who actually likes to interactive rebase my history into shape. But, I thought it could be faster (much faster), and started working on Retcon, years ago. And now it's ready!
Retcon lets you manipulate commits directly: you can move commits around with just a drag-and-drop, delete them, squash them, all from the same view; and get instant results after every change. No step two.
You can undo virtually anything with ⌘Z, too. Whether you deleted the wrong commit, confirmed a conflict resolution that wasn't quite right, or even pushed to a remote a bit too soon—it can all be undone with the same familiar key combo.
And, Retcon is really good at showing you context. When there's a conflict, you see the conflicting file's diffs. You also see what commits are coming up (not applied yet, but will be next) and what commits have already been applied. It just makes a huge difference when everything is laid out clearly, and you don't have to mentally keep track of it all.
All of that together, and Retcon makes rewriting history much faster, not a chore at all anymore. It's actually fun to do!
If you're interested, try the app now: you can download a free trial from the website, and you can buy it for 25% off until September 3rd.
I was so ready to buy this until I saw it was a monthly/annual subscription instead of a one-time purchase.
Retcon is a dream tool for world-builders and storytellers! 🌍✨ Its innovative features for organizing and visualizing story elements make it easier than ever to bring creative visions to life. Excited to see how it will empower writers and creators to build richer, more immersive worlds! 🚀👏
Can you tell me more about how the context view helps with conflict resolution resolution?
This tool’s drag-and-drop interface reminds me of other user-friendly design tools, but applied to Git operations. The clarity and simplicity are very appealing
💫 Congrats on the launch! It’s been incredible to watch this develop, and I can’t wait to start using it! 💻

This looks super interesting! As a frequent Git user, I’m always looking for ways to streamline my workflow. The drag-and-drop feature sounds like a game changer. I'm curious about the undo functionality; does it work seamlessly even after pushing commits to a remote, or are there any limitations? Also, how does Retcon handle larger repositories with complex histories? Would love to know more about your thoughts on balancing performance and usability here, @cykelero!
Hey there, what a thrill to see your project take flight! Big congrats on the launch of Retcon!
Retcon sounds like a game-changer for developers who wrestle with Git history. It's like a time machine for your code, letting you drag-and-drop commits and undo mistakes with a simple ⌘Z. This native macOS app is bringing some much-needed user-friendliness to Git history management.

Honestly, this is the kind of stuff that makes my day. Love seeing innovation that makes developers' lives easier!
Looking forward to watching Retcon's journey unfold. And hey, I'm also tinkering on something new – would love to share notes sometime!
Go on, give it a look, and let's keep pushing each other to new heights! 🚀
