About
DeltaSnap turns native APFS snapshots on macOS into searchable version control for files and folders, letting users find deleted files by name, diff two points in time, and restore a single item without rolling back the whole disk. It's positioned partly as a safety layer for AI-agent-driven changes, with a skill that lets compatible agents create expiring checkpoints and verify their own edits.
What it does
ScaleNinja's site pitches DeltaSnap as a Mac app and command-line tool for managing the APFS snapshots macOS already takes. Per the site, it labels, holds, mounts and compares snapshots on tracked volumes, including ones Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner made, and pulls single files back out. The site stresses it is not a backup.
