Kaleidoscope 6.7 added Commit History to the changeset sidebar. Kaleidoscope 7 adds a visual commit graph, making branches, merges, and relationships between commits easier to understand.

Kaleidoscope 7 introduces Live Working Copy Changes.
Files that become modified, new files that appear, staging changes, commits, and reverts can now all be reflected in an open changeset. No more closing and reopening the comparison to see what changed.

Kaleidoscope 7 is here. Working Copy Changes now update in real time as files change—whether those changes come from you, a terminal command, or a coding agent. Open a changeset once. Leave it open. Kaleidoscope keeps following along.

In case you missed it: Kaleidoscope 6.8 Beta includes our first batch of compatibility fixes for macOS Golden Gate Beta (27.0). If you’re already running the Golden Gate beta, now would be a great time to see how Kaleidoscope behaves—and let us know what we missed.

Kaleidoscope 6.8 Beta 2 is out. The focus of this beta is macOS Golden Gate compatibility. If you’re running the Golden Gate beta, please give it a try and tell us what breaks.

Working with AI-generated changes usually means working in parallel—across branches, worktrees, and multiple iterations. Kaleidoscope 6.7 adds better support for that: • compare across worktrees • outline view for changesets • commit history in the sidebar

Fancy a small Easter egg hunt this weekend? 🐰 There’s a new Kaleidoscope public beta to explore: changesets in a folder-based hierarchy, commit history right in your changesets, Git worktree support, and improved image alignment. Let us know what you discover.
