Name: StackHandoff
Rating: 4.0 (2 reviews)

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built StackHandoff because switching computers as a developer is still surprisingly painful. Your code may already be in Git, but your actual working session is much more than a repository — it includes the branch you’re on, uncommitted changes, projects you have open, development tools, runtimes, applications, and all the little pieces of context needed to start working again. StackHandoff turns that working state into a portable workspace manifest and sends it directly to another paired machine over an encrypted peer-to-peer connection. On the destination machine, you get a restore plan before anything happens. You can review what will be opened, restored, skipped, or offered as a command. Git working-tree changes are transferred as a patch so your in-progress work can continue instead of being flattened into a copied folder. There’s no StackHandoff cloud account, no central workspace server, and no silent command execution. The current focus is Mac ↔ Windows developer workflows, and the project is open source. I’d especially love feedback from developers who regularly switch between a work laptop, personal machine, desktop, or travel computer: What part of your development environment is the most annoying to rebuild when you move to another machine?
