About GitMind

Commit history is developer infrastructure

Every developer has written fix stuff as a commit message. Usually at the end of a long day, usually on the change that will matter most in six months when someone runs git blame on it.

Commit messages are one of the few pieces of documentation that are written at exactly the moment you have the least patience for writing them, and read at exactly the moment you most need them to be good. GitMind exists to close that gap: it reads what you actually staged and writes the message you would have written if you had the energy.

Built for momentum and quality

GitMind is designed around a simple problem: a good commit message takes context, but it should not take you out of flow. It turns the staged diff into a useful starting point, follows the conventions already present in the repository, and leaves the final decision with the developer.

The goal is not to add another place to manage AI. It is to make an existing, high-frequency workflow more dependable: clearer handoffs, easier reviews, more useful release notes, and less archaeology for the next person reading the code.

Control is part of the product

GitMind sends your staged diff to the AI provider you chose, using your API key. It does not route anything through a server of ours, because there isn't one in that path. We do not see your code, we cannot see your code, and there is nothing about it for us to store or lose.

GitMind also gives you a safer review surface for sensitive context: its commit-intelligence workflow can flag sensitive filenames, private-key markers, credential-like assignments, and high-entropy values for review before a commit message is inserted. If even provider-level sharing is too much, point GitMind at Ollama or a self-hosted endpoint and keep the workflow inside your environment.

Novel where it counts

GitMind combines staged-diff understanding, repository-aware style matching, provider choice, context review, and release-note generation in the same editor workflow. It is intentionally focused: not a replacement for your editor or a generic chat window, but a better way to turn completed work into reliable history.

A note on how we sell it

GitMind is free and stays free. Pro is a single payment — no subscription, no trial clock, no feature held hostage to create urgency. If Pro is not worth it to you, keep using the free version forever; that is a real option and not a grudging one.

If you hit a bug, want a feature, or something about a purchase goes wrong, open a ticket in the GitHub repository or contact me directly. A human reads those.
