clear someone working nearby you are both in the same file
What it does
git-radar shows a live board and a small stoplight in your menu bar of who on your team has uncommitted changes in which files, refreshed every few seconds. The moment you are about to edit a file a teammate already has open, it warns you. Green means clear, yellow means someone is working in the same area, red means you are both in the same file right now.
Who it is for
Small teams and pairs working in the same repository at the same time, especially people moving fast with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity) or any editor at all. If you have ever rewritten a file only to discover a teammate had just rewritten it too, this is built for you.
How it works
Install the app and point it at your repo folder.
Invite a teammate with a one-time link. They install and point at their own copy of the same repo.
Work as normal. Each app quietly reports the files you have changed but not committed. Everyone sees the same live board and stoplight, and gets a heads-up before touching a file someone else is in.
What it never sees
git-radar only ever sends file paths, branch names, and your repo's address. It never sends your code, your file contents, or your commits. You can also hide any paths you do not want shared. macOS app. Free.
