Why Brancher Mini

Fully Local

Your code never leaves your machine.

Conventional Commits

Always generates proper typed messages: feat:, fix:, chore: — every single time.

Zero Friction

One tiny setup step on your first run, zero configuration after that. Just fire the command, let it read your diff, and watch it write the perfect commit. Done.

Anonymous telemetry

Preview builds only

Preview releases collect anonymous usage data to help us understand how the tool is used and where to focus improvements. Telemetry is completely absent in stable full releases. No diffs, no commit messages, and nothing that could identify you or your code is ever recorded.

What we collect

  • Random install ID (UUID, generated locally)
  • App version and platform (OS + CPU arch)
  • Generation mode used (compact / extended)
  • Whether the commit was made or cancelled
  • Number of files sent to the LLM vs. handled statically
  • Token counts per LLM call

Never collected

  • File contents or diffs
  • Generated commit messages
  • Filenames or project paths
  • Email, account, or identity
  • IP addresses

Events are queued locally and flushed once per day. To opt out in a preview build, set "telemetry": false in ~/.brancher-minirc.json.
