What it does

wetpaint shows a live board and a small wet-paint sign 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 is still working on, it warns you. 🟢 dry means clear, 🟡 wet paint nearby means someone is working in the same area, 🔴 wet paint — don't touch 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

  1. Install the app and point it at your repo folder.
  2. Invite a teammate with a one-time link. They install and point at their own copy of the same repo.
  3. Work as normal. Each app quietly reports the files you have changed but not committed. Everyone sees the same live board and wet-paint sign, and gets a heads-up before touching a file someone else is in.

What it never sees

wetpaint 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 for pairs.

Privacy & contact

We store only what the board needs: the file paths you have changed, your branch, your repo's address, and the name you choose. Live presence auto-deletes after about 10 minutes. We never receive your source code. Payments, if you tip, are handled by Stripe and we never see your card details.
