So this is Time Machine, but with extra steps? </s>

Op here - grateful you gave it a look but want to clarify TM can’t be used for this use case.

UNF is one install command + unf watch to protect a repo on every file change, takes 30s.

Time Machine snapshots hourly, not on every change, so you can lose real work between snapshots. This may have changed or I missed something but I reviewed that app to see if it was possible.

And while tmutil exists, it wasn’t designed to be invoked mid-workflow by an agent. UNF* captures every write and is built to be part of the recovery loop

Useful! Thanks for replying to this internet stranger's comment!
