History

Syntevo began in the early 2000s with a simple idea: to create high-quality developer tools that the founders, Marc Strapetz and Thomas Singer, would want to use themselves. What started with SmartCVS and SmartSVN soon evolved into SmartGit, launched in 2009 and now relied upon by hundreds of thousands of developers around the world.

Over two decades, Syntevo has remained independent, focused, and committed to craftsmanship. While the software landscape has shifted from centralized systems to distributed workflows and cloud integrations, the core philosophy has stayed the same: build exact, reliable, and genuinely helpful tools — without chasing hype.

Today, Syntevo continues to refine SmartGit and explore new technologies while staying true to what has defined the company from the start: quality, clarity, and developer-centric thinking.
