wetpaint

A wet paint sign
for git.

See which files your teammates are still painting, before you smudge each other's work. So two of you never quietly change the same file and collide in a painful merge.

The whole idea, at a glance

Green means go. Red means don't touch.

dry

All clear. Nobody else is working where you are.

wet paint nearby

A teammate is working in the same directory. Tread carefully.

wet paint, don't touch

Someone has the exact same file uncommitted right now.

What it does

Live presence for people in the same repo.

A paint drop in your menu bar

A glossy teardrop that changes color at a glance: green, amber, red.

Live, not after the fact

Presence refreshes every few seconds and auto-expires after about ten minutes.

Built for agent workflows

Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, or any editor. Claude Code users get an inline "edit anyway?" warning.

Repo-aware by design

Presence is tagged by git remote, so collisions only count within the same repo.

Paths only, never code

It transmits file paths, branch names, and the repo address. Never your source or commits.

One-link onboarding

No terminal, no config, no accounts. Share a one-time invite link and you're in.
