Why we built it, what it does, and where it's going.
Writing good commit messages takes time and thought. Most developers either spend too long crafting the perfect message or give up and write "fix stuff." Either way, the git history suffers.
Gitly sits in your system tray, watches your staged changes, and generates clear, conventional commit messages using AI. It's not trying to replace your workflow — it's trying to remove the last bit of friction before you commit.
Most developer tools demand attention. Gitly does the opposite. It stays out of the way until you need it, then gets back to being invisible. The mascot is there to make the experience a little more human, not to distract you.
Your code never leaves your machine. Gitly is local-only with no accounts, no telemetry, no tracking.
No subscriptions, no hidden costs. Bring your own AI key and use Gitly for free.
Built with Tauri and Rust. Under 15 MB of RAM. No Electron bloat. Starts in under a second.
