How to open a Changeset from any app on macOS
Kaleidoscope 5 introduces a groundbreaking feature that allows users to effortlessly open the changeset for any Git commit.

Kaleidoscope 4 comes with an entirely new companion app called Kaleidoscope Prism. By default, it launches along with Kaleidoscope and remains running, so you may have noticed a new icon sitting quietly in your menu bar.
