Our Take

Here's a product that solves a problem I've actually seen happen: An AI coding agent goes rogue on your codebase, wipes your workspace, and you've lost hours of work because you didn't commit. Unfucked is a free, local-only filesystem flight recorder that captures every version of every file, every second — so when your agent does something stupid (and it will), you can rewind any file to any point in time without Git ever getting involved. The CLI commands like `unf log` and `unf restore` are dead simple, it uses SQLite with BLAKE3 hashing for deduplication, respects your .gitignore, and the whole thing runs on under 1% CPU and less than 100MB RAM. No cloud, no telemetry, no accounts, no paid tiers — just install it with `unf watch` and your files are protected in real time. Low-key this should be on every developer's machine who works with AI agents, because it's not a matter of if your agent destroys something, it's a matter of when.

Filesystem flight recorder that continuously records every version of every file, every second. Captures changes between commits so developers can rewind to any point in time.

Problem It Solves
Files disappear between commits, AI agents overwrite source code, lost work from mass refactors, deleted files, version history gaps from squash merges, and inability to restore previous file states without Git commits.
Target Customer
Software developers using AI coding agents who need protection against unintended file changes and mass overwrites.
Use Cases
AI agent mass-overwrites source files, AI agent deletes .env files with API keys, AI cleanup script deletes wrong directory, AI agent removes valid dependencies, AI reformats files with wrong config, AI replaces test fixtures with generic data, AI deletes migration files, Squash merge loses intermediate work, AI loses context mid-session, What happened while away from AI agent
Pricing Details
No subscription. No limits. No paid tiers.
Free Tier
Everything is free
Differentiator
Records every file change continuously (every second) without requiring Git commits. Local-only, no cloud, no telemetry, no accounts.
Why Now
AI coding agents are increasingly common and can cause mass file changes in seconds, making continuous filesystem recording essential for developer safety.
Traction
Notable Metrics: 4,427 snapshots, 401 files, 5 projects (demo stats shown)
