Choose where to patrol
Point Repo Cop at the folders where you create projects. It ignores the rest of your Mac.
Native macOS beta
Relax. Your work has a lookout.
Repo Cop quietly notices source code that hasn’t made it into Git—or safely off your Mac—and gives you a friendly nudge before it matters.

A calmer safety net
From loose folder to safely backed up.
Repo Cop stays out of the way until a project actually looks like something worth protecting.
Keep making things
Fast, bounded scans recognize real source trees without constantly crawling your filesystem.
Protect them in a click
Initialize Git, create the first commit, and publish a private GitHub repository with confirmation at every step.
Quietly capable
Helpful, never hectic.
Smart project detection
Source files, manifests, and familiar project structures help Repo Cop distinguish real work from ordinary folders.

Polite reminders
A grace period first. Gentle nudges later. Snooze or ignore anything that doesn’t need protection.
Your terminal, your way
Open projects in Terminal, Ghostty, iTerm, Warp, or whichever terminal app you prefer.
Private publishing
Review the account, host, and repository name before Repo Cop creates and pushes anything.
Designed to sip resources
FSEvents wakes Repo Cop only when watched folders change. Configurable scan depth and file limits keep background work bounded.
Private by default
A neighborhood watch, not surveillance.
Repo Cop runs locally, watches only folders you select, and doesn’t upload your source code. A project leaves your Mac only after you explicitly confirm a publish action.
- ✓ No account required
