DiffSense uses the native AFM 3B model on Apple Silicon to generate git commit messages for free. It runs locally with zero latency, ensuring your code stays private. Features customizable message styles and powerful alias macros.
Nice tool, Zac!
Thank you for such a Christmas gift 🫶
Very cool idea and looks great, congrats on the launch!
Siiick, well done @conduit_design !
Typeless
This tool addresses a real pain point for developers! 👍
What I particularly love:
Local execution keeps your code private - no worries about sensitive information leaking
Zero latency experience is so much smoother than calling cloud APIs
Leverages Apple Silicon's AI capabilities while being completely free
Customizable message styles and alias macros offer great flexibility
For developers who often forget to write commit messages or struggle with proper commit conventions, this is a game-changer. The only limitation might be requiring Apple Silicon hardware, but for Mac users, it's definitely worth trying!

@yuki1028 Glad you liked it. Thanks for your feedback :)
Hey everyone,
This looks like a clever little tool for a very specific problem. While I'm not writing commit messages myself, I collaborate closely with developers, and clear documentation of what changed is crucial for understanding project progress. A free, local tool that instantly suggests descriptive messages from code diffs, right on a Mac, seems like it would encourage better communication and save them a moment of thought on every update. Anything that helps the team maintain a clean, understandable history without extra effort is a win. Nice focused utility.

@anya_furnishd Yepp. Commit msgs often is the base of a pull request. aka team work. So its crucial to get right. I think git msgs have so much potential to give more clearity when collabing with many devs. So much room to grow. And it can always improve. Thats why we added the bring your own rules flag, just 2 h before launch today, with the --byo flag you can define a team rules set. So everyone can converge on a good ballanced team standard. Thanks for you support 🙏
Really like the focus on privacy-first and local execution here. Running commit generation fully on Apple Silicon with zero latency is a big win, especially for teams that don’t want code context leaving their machine. The customizable commit styles and alias macros make this feel genuinely practical, not just a demo. This is one of those tools that quietly improves daily developer workflow without adding friction. Solid launch - well done.

@vik_sh Thanks man 🙏 I feel the same. I think the local AI space is going to grow fast. Apple will launch better cpus, and better llms. So we can code locally like we used to pre AI age. The LLMs are slowly platouing, and the next leap will be how we use compute and models. Maybe less how big or fast they work.
Kinda cool that this project is a shell script and an Apple shortcut, impressive. 🤯

@thinkverse kept it as minimal and elegant as possible ;) Thanks
