What is Unfucked?

Unfucked is a local-first version control tool that automatically records every file change in real time, eliminating the need for manual commits. Unlike traditional git-based workflows, it captures granular snapshots of your work as you make edits, allowing you to rewind any file to any specific second. This approach is particularly valuable for developers, writers, and creative professionals who want a safety net without the friction of committing changes. The tool is source-available and prioritise privacy by keeping version history local to your machine, making it ideal for those who want version control that works passively in the background without disrupting their workflow.
