Open a Git changeset in Kaleidoscope, then continue working. Until now, changes made after opening the document would not appear until you reopened it. Kaleidoscope 7 changes that. Working Copy Changes now update as your files change, whether those changes come from you, your editor, a terminal command, or a coding agent.
Modern Git workflows aren’t just about branches anymore. With AI agents generating changes in parallel, it’s becoming normal to have multiple working copies, multiple ideas, and a lot more to review. Kaleidoscope 6.7 helps you navigate and understand complex changesets.

Today, we’re excited to introduce an all-new Image Comparison in Kaleidoscope 6.4 Beta! This (pre-)release is all about getting the foundation right. We’ve rebuilt the Image Comparison on a completely new technology stack. That means it’s faster, more reliable, and ready for future innovation. From here on out, adding new features will be easier.
Ever tried to compare a Windows-created file on macOS and run into an error? Here’s how to make Kaleidoscope handle it smoothly.
Five years ago today, I took a leap of faith: I purchased the assets of Kaleidoscope, took out a bank loan, and set out to bring this beloved Mac app back to life. At the time, Kaleidoscope hadn’t seen updates in a while — but I knew it deserved another chance.
Users updating their Mac to macOS Tahoe can rest assured that Kaleidoscope has been updated to embrace the new design and tested extensively.
