COMING TO TESTFLIGHT
Version control in plain English.
BuddyShelf is a native Mac app that gives you version control in plain English. It uses Git under the hood, but you never have to see a terminal, learn a command, or know what a "rebase" is. Think of it as an undo button for your entire project — with cloud backups, a visual timeline, and the safety to experiment without fear.

Shelf It
Save a snapshot of your project with a description. One click. Your work is safe.
Try an Idea
Branch off and experiment without fear. If it doesn't work, go back to where you were.
Go Back
Made a mistake? Scroll through your timeline and restore any previous version instantly.
Back It Up
Push to GitHub with your own account. Your code stays on your machine and your cloud. We never see it.
Timeline
See every save you've made in a visual timeline. Know exactly what changed and when.
Built for vibe coders, not developers.
You're building software with AI tools like Cursor, Claude, Bolt, or Replit. You're not a developer — you're a creator who happens to be writing code. You know you should be saving your progress, but Git is intimidating. BuddyShelf fixes that.
"If you can save a document, you can use BuddyShelf."
Plain English, always
"Shelf it" instead of "commit." "Try an idea" instead of "create a branch." No jargon by default — ever.
One click, not ten
Every action should be as close to one click as possible. No multi-step terminal workflows. No memorizing flags.
Your files, your machine
No account required. No backend. No telemetry. BuddyShelf works entirely on your Mac. Cloud features use your own GitHub account.
