Oriora Diff Brief
Your diff, written up.
Point it at a local git repo and, one tap before you push, it drafts a commit message or PR description in your repo's own style. If you have staged changes it describes only those — what you are actually about to commit — and otherwise falls back to your whole working tree. The per-file summary is computed on your Mac in Rust; only a condensed digest, never the full diff or whole files, is sent to write the draft. A tray icon and a ⌘⇧D hotkey bring it up instantly.

Example outputs
How it works
Add a repo
Pick a local git repo; it reads your staged changes (or the whole working tree if nothing is staged) and summarizes them on your Mac.
Pick commit or PR
Choose a commit message or a PR description and tap Draft.
Copy it
The draft comes back in your repo's style; copy all or section by section.
FAQ
Why isn't this on the App Store?
Mac App Store apps run sandboxed — walled off from the rest of your machine. This one has to read your Mac to be useful at all, so the sandbox would take away the whole point of it. It's a direct download instead, notarized by Apple the same way, and it installs by dragging it to Applications.
Does it review my code?
No. Diff Brief describes what changed to draft the message; it won't rate code quality or judge the author.
Does my code leave my Mac?
The full diff and whole files are never sent. Only a condensed digest — per-file stats and a small sample of changed lines — is sent to write the draft, and Oriora keeps nothing.
Do I need a subscription?
No. The app is free; you only pay for the drafts you run — a fraction of a cent each, billed to your Oriora wallet.
How do I sign in?
With your Oriora account — an emailed code, or Continue with Google, GitHub or Apple. It's the same Oriora sign-in page the website uses, shown inside the app, and one account covers every Oriora app.
