Built a local background "Time Machine" for VS Code. Zero Git commands required.

Hey everyone.

I got tired of losing code to rogue AI agents and forgetting manual Git commits during rapid iterations. Git is great for milestones, but it fails as a real-time safety net.

So, I built LocalHub. It’s a 100% local, background version control system that runs inside VS Code.

Here are the core facts about the architecture:

• 7 Smart Triggers: It automatically snapshots files on save, tab switch, editing pause, focus loss, and external changes. No git add or git commit needed.

• Agent Diary (AI Protection): It logs AI agent actions separately. Crucially, AI cannot empty the trash or delete your history. If an agent hallucinates, you can instantly roll back.

• Ultimate Recovery: We built dedicated trash bins for everything — deleted files, "Zombie Branches", and even rejected code blocks. You can restore any dropped line of code at any time.

• Time Machine Groups: It auto-groups related changes and generates AI descriptions for them, acting like automated commits.

It's entirely offline-first. I’d love for the engineers here to tear down the architecture or try it out. How are you currently protecting your uncommitted code when working with AI?
