The Problem

Developers and AI builders generate valuable data on their Macs every day — Claude Code session stats, Apple Notes, Photos metadata, Podcast libraries — but none of it flows anywhere automatically. Cloud sync tools move files, not structured data. Automation platforms like n8n and Make can process webhooks, but nothing bridges the gap between local Mac data sources and remote webhook endpoints. The result: valuable operational data stays trapped on the machine that created it.

The Approach

LocalPush is a native macOS menu bar app built with Tauri 2.0 and Rust. It watches local data sources — files, databases, system APIs — and pushes structured changes to any webhook endpoint with guaranteed delivery. A write-ahead log (WAL) engine ensures nothing is lost, even through crashes and network failures. You see your real data before it leaves your machine, and every delivery is tracked with full audit history. Open source under MIT — no trust required.
