A graph built for scale
Layout and DOM are both virtualized: only the visible window of commits is laid out and mounted, pages are fetched as you scroll and evicted when you leave. 100,000 commits scroll like 100.

Git history you can actually read.
Amont renders any repository — including six-figure-commit monsters — as a metro map: branches as lanes, merges as curves, refs as chips. Scroll it, search it, stage from it, resolve conflicts in it. Fast, keyboard-first, built for Windows.
Every screenshot on this page is Amont browsing its own repository. Turtles all the way down.
Everything you'd expect. A few things you wouldn't.
The whole point of Amont is that nothing about your history should be opaque — not its shape, not its diffs, not the commands run on it.
Diffs that read like code
Syntax-highlighted by Shiki — the same grammars as VS Code. Unified or side-by-side, per file or whole commit. Images get a real viewer instead of “Binary files differ”.
Stage exactly what you mean
Stage, unstage or discard a file, a folder, a hunk, or a single line, straight from a live interactive diff. Amend included, live commit progress included.
Conflicts, resolved by clicking
Aligned A/B panes: take a whole side, one chunk, or one line at a time — in the order you click. Picks and hand edits coexist in an editable, highlighted output.
Full-text commit search
Message, author, hash prefix, and (optionally) diff content via git's pickaxe. Long-distance jumps land instantly, virtualization included.
git-flow, first-class
Feature, release and hotfix branches get a context banner, a tinted one-click finish, start/publish from their own menu, and a start-branch picker.
Linked worktrees
A sidebar section, graph chips and context menus make git worktree a one-click affair: create, open as a tab, reveal, or remove.
Live operations
Fetch, pull and push stream their progress into a unified status feed; background auto-fetch (with --prune) keeps the graph fresh on a timer you control.
Nothing up its sleeve
Mutation buttons preview the exact git command they will run, and a read-only console traces every command the app executes.
Keyboard-first
The graph, file lists, sidebar, menus and popovers are all fully operable without a mouse.
Sandboxed by design
The UI runs with the Chromium sandbox on and a strict CSP; only the main process touches git, your disk, or the network.
Updates itself
Silent startup check against GitHub Releases, background download, installs on quit or on “Restart now”.
The tour
01
Built for big histories
This is a ~25,000-commit timeline — Amont scrolls it without loading it. Branch lanes, merge curves, tags, stashes and ahead/behind divergence fold into one timeline, and commit subjects carry type badges so the shape of the work reads at a glance. Selecting a commit opens its full message, co-authors and changed files.
02
Diffs that read like code
Unified or side-by-side, one file or the whole commit — the two panes scroll together, and Shiki highlights everything with the same grammars VS Code uses. Binary images render in a proper viewer.
03
Stage exactly what you mean
The staging panel stages files, folders, hunks or single lines from a live split diff. Review everything, then commit or amend — with the exact git command shown on the button before you run it.
04
Merge conflicts, resolved on your terms
Both versions laid out in aligned, syntax-highlighted panes. A checkbox per pane takes a whole side, per-chunk checkboxes take one side of one conflict, per-line +/− buttons take single lines — landing in the merged output in the order you click. The output is a normal editor: picks and hand edits coexist.
Honest software
Read the sourceOpen source, MIT
Developed in the open on GitHub — issues, pull requests and the release pipeline included.
Private by default
Crash reports carry no repository contents and no PII, and are opt-out at runtime. A build from source sends nothing at all.
Transparent
Every mutation button previews the exact git command it will run, and a read-only console traces everything.
Get Amont
Download the installer from the latest GitHub release and run it. From then on, Amont keeps itself up to date: it checks at startup, downloads in the background, and installs on quit — or when you click “Restart now”.
Download the latest releaseWindows only for 1.0 — macOS and Linux aren't packaged yet.
About the SmartScreen warning
Released binaries are not code-signed yet, so Windows shows an “unknown publisher” warning when you run the installer — expected, not a sign of tampering. Update integrity relies on HTTPS to GitHub plus the sha512 in latest.yml.
