Another vote for Fork here. Used to use many different UI clients, including ST and Tower but left Tower for Fork. I still add P4 Merge as my external merge tool though. It seems to have the best algorithm and often solves conflicts automatically.
You can do "see only current branch" with the little filter icon when you hover next to a branch. Although I do find myself getting lost amongst branches more easily compared to Sourcetree, I think there's some difference in how filters are combined that isn't ideal (but I can't remember specifics)
I love Tower and have paid for it for years. I can’t imagine using the git CLI now. GUIs were invented for a reason and the git CLI has terrible ergonomics and many ways to make costly mistakes.
I can't live without Fork. It's the one thing I miss on Linux. I have it in Wine, but it's running terribly there unfortunately.

I’ve used SourceTree for a decade, Fork is the only one I’ve switched to partially (at work).
I probably will switch back to ST even at work because I dislike:
- I want the split view of ST where I can simply see the changes and not lose the commit log.
- “see only current branch” is super useful in ST to see only the current branch’s commit log.
(Partially writing this in hopes of someone pointing out ways to do this in Fork)

I have dabbled in those tools. Still did not change my opinion.
