LocalHub: A background Time Machine for your code (no Git required)

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I built LocalHub - Time Machine to solve a massive pain point: losing code to rogue AI agents or simply forgetting to commit. Standard Git is great for milestones, but it fails as a real-time safety net.

LocalHub runs silently in the background of VS Code and versions everything automatically based on 7 smart triggers (saving, tab switching, idle time, etc.) without requiring a single terminal command.

Here is what makes the architecture unique:

• Ultimate Recovery System: We built dedicated Trash bins for everything. Deleted files, "Zombie Branches", and even rejected code blocks are safely stored so you can restore any piece of lost code at any time.

• Zero-Command Versioning: No git add or git commit. It tracks changes at the OS-level.

• AI Protection (Agent Diary): It tracks AI agent edits separately from your manual work. If an AI hallucinates and overwrites your file, you can instantly roll back to your human-written version.

• Time Machine Groups: It automatically organizes your changes logically, acting like commits but fully automated (with AI-generated descriptions).

Everything is 100% local, offline-first, and highly optimized.

I’d love to hear your feedback: How do you currently protect your working directory between manual commits, especially when doing heavy AI code generation?
