Osmos is a local-first version-control project for people who create with files: designers, writers, editors, and developers. It is being built to replace version-name chaos with a private, local history that is easy to return to.
Project status: the Rust core provides local versioning, content-addressable blob storage, SQLite metadata, and a local daemon API. The desktop experience and device-to-device transport are still in development.
Most creative work starts as a folder, not a Git repository. Osmos is designed around that reality:
working folder → local history → choose an earlier version when you need it
The goal is simple: keep the history beside the work, so you can focus on making it.
| Area | Current state |
|---|---|
| Osmos Core | Rust workspace with directory tracking, BLAKE3-addressed blobs, SQLite metadata, commits and branches, plus a Unix socket daemon. |
| Osmos Desktop | Tauri + React + TypeScript client foundation; product screens are in progress. |
| Osmos Website | Product site and waitlist, built with Vite, custom CSS tokens, and Firebase. |
- A calm desktop interface for reviewing changes, creating snapshots, and moving between branches.
- Device discovery and peer-to-peer transport, planned in the core workspace.
- A workflow that keeps local history understandable without requiring Git vocabulary.
