Local AI git commit generator for Apple Silicon

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.
Love that it runs entirely on-device. Will it support automatically injecting JIRA or ticket IDs into commit messages for easier linking, along with team-wide presets or repo-specific commit conventions?
DiffSense
@fil11 Yes, team-wide presets and repo-specific commit conventions are supported. Tryout the (diffsense --byo=<preset-file-rule> --minimal) or similar, the exact customization guideline is listed here: https://github.com/edgeleap/diffsense#:~:text=Custom%20prompt%20instructions,for%20file%20paths.
About the JIRA ticket, there sure is a pop-up displayed after commit message generation; you can link it there.
If there's a particular request you'd like to make, feel free to create an issue here: https://github.com/edgeleap/diffsense/issues
Thank You!
I just realized that even though I code with AI every day, I still write my commit messages and forgot that this step can also be AI-powered! Very neat idea and a smooth experience. Congrats on the launch! Just a small question: How easy would it be to make DiffSense run on platforms other than mac, if I am fine using gpt instead of afm?

@e36 Microsoft is betting huge on local AI hardware in their laptops etc. So definitly next step. Add a feat request in the github repo and we will do it faster, if pother eople also want the same thing
DiffSense
@e36 I write alot of manual commit msgs too. Esp if things get complicated. But I always felt it could be done 10x better. Like add more insight into each msg. Because. AIs in the future they will read every commit msg to understand context better. So this "sense" part is going to be very important in 2026 and beyond. Dont you think?
Hey @zaczuo ,
Congrats on the launch of DiffSense! It sounds like a super practical tool, especially for developers using Apple Silicon. I love how it focuses on local processing and privacy.
Just curious, how's the response been so far? What kind of marketing strategies are you focusing on to spread the word about DiffSense? Would love to hear more about how you're getting the word out!
DiffSense
@zaczuo @mfarhan1107 Focusing on authentic social proof. We want to do more in the edge AI space. Local compute. Privacy. So being real, and honest is the strategy I think. maybe you have a suggestion?, as we are not marketing experts at all, lots of room to grow in that department 😸

@kevinjaspal I know right. Its strange that we dont have more tools for all these powerful AI CPUs inside our laptops. Time to utilize it 💪

@kaushik_mukherjee1 Glad you liked it. Do tell us how it goes :)
Congratulations on the launch! A useful app for programmers.
Most dev tools sell capabilities (Local AI). You should sell Velocity.
DiffSense is winning because it fixes the "End of Day" brain drain; trying to remember 100+ file changes for one commit.
The Strategy:
Swap the tech-heavy headline for Cognitive Ease.
Replace "AI Commit Generator" with "The Flow State Guard."
The Idea: "Commit complex diffs in seconds. Stay in the zone. 100% private."
Developers don't want more AI; they want to stay Finished. Great launch, André!

That’s quite intuitive@winifred_ukpong The flow/Zen state is very much an out-of-the-box benefit on top of the AI commit generator. Thanks for calling it out.
As you said, it intrinsically removes the everyday obstructions we all run into, and that's seamless. If you have any other ideas or feature suggestions, I’d love to hear them. Appreciate your clarity of thought. Thanks!
