CodeSync Uncommitted Sync

Securely sync unfinished code changes across home, office, and laptop

Problem

Developers switch between multiple computers daily and often have unfinished tasks they don't want to commit or forget to commit, so code isn't synced when they switch devices. Syncing entire projects with .git directories via Nextcloud often throws errors and creates unnecessary files, while users still want full git history for lookup and rollback.

Solution

A lightweight sync tool for multi-device developers that encrypts and syncs uncommitted workspace changes (including stashes and WIP branches) to private storage, then restores them on another device as WIP commits or draft branches—without polluting main branch history and preserving full git records.

Users

Indie developers, remote workers, and programmers who switch between multiple computers and value git history.

MVP

CLI or menu bar tool detects uncommitted changes and creates WIP snapshots; encrypts and syncs snapshots via user's own S3/WebDAV/Nextcloud backend; one-click restore as a draft branch on another device; excludes unnecessary .git objects and syncs only changes plus essential metadata; conflict detection and alerts.

Revenue

Open-source core plus hosted sync subscription (monthly/per device), or one-time desktop client purchase with optional cloud storage plan.

Why now

AI-assisted coding makes local changes more frequent and fragmented, and device switching more common; the BYOS model lets indie developers avoid large storage costs.
