Light Table

Create versions, review changes, & collaborate directly in Glyphs.

Light Table provides a rich set of tools and visualizations for managing your font projects. It’s built on top of Git. That means that your notes, sketch files, and Python scripts can be part of your project’s version history, too. Deeply integrated into Glyphs, Light Table’s features are always at your fingertips. And for custom needs, there is an extensive Python API and command-line tool.
