Recent releases have added some genuinely useful features. AI Commits let you generate commit messages and descriptions with one click, right from the commit area โ handy for when writing a good commit message is the last thing you feel like doing. Automatic Branch Archiving takes care of housekeeping by detecting stale or fully merged branches and archiving them for you, so your sidebar doesn't fill up with clutter over time.
For teams with their own conventions, Custom Git Workflows let you define a branching model from scratch โ trunk/topic branches, prefixes, merge strategies โ or start from templates like git-flow or GitHub Flow, with one-click "Start/Finish Feature" actions to guide you through it. Tower also has Graphite Integration built in, covering stack creation, restacking, PR submission, and merge queue support without leaving the app.
Two more additions support more advanced setups: Worktree Support, for checking out and working on multiple branches at once, and Stacked Branches, which track parent-child relationships between branches so you can work with stacked pull requests and restack a whole chain with a single action.
Rounding things out, Commit Templates let teams reuse commit message formats across a repository, with quick keyboard access when you need one.
Tower VeltNo features have been listed yet.
Tower is recommended for software developers and teams who need a robust and efficient graphical interface for Git. It's particularly useful for those who prefer a visual alternative to command-line Git management, as well as for development teams looking for a collaborative environment that integrates well with other tools in their workflow.
Based on our record, Velt seems to be more popular. It has been mentiond 12 times since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
We started with a simple canvas and turned it into a fully collaborative whiteboard. Along the way, we added real-time cursors, presence, comments, notifications, and even voice huddles using Velt. Instead of building sync logic and infra from scratch, we used Velt MCP and agent skills to handle the heavy lifting and get everything working quickly. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
Velt is a collaboration SDK that lets you add real-time features like comments, presence, and notifications directly into your product. Instead of building backend infrastructure for multi-user sync, conflict resolution, and event handling, you integrate Velt components and ship collaboration features in days. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
Velt lets you skip all of that. You plug it into your app and get comments, presence, notifications, and shared context immediately. You donโt worry about syncing users or handling concurrent updates. Your code stays focused on the UI and user experience, not real-time infrastructure. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
Velt: Velt is the key piece. Instead of building real-time infrastructure ourselves, Velt provides presence, comments, notifications, and collaboration out of the box. Once integrated, features like reactions, read status, and threaded comments work automatically without writing extra backend or real-time code. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
We built PixFrame, a Canva-like design editor, to see what that looks like in practice. This article explains how the collaboration layer is built, including CRDT sync, live cursors, presence, and comments. We used Velt for the collaboration layer and the Velt Plugin to set it up quickly. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
