    Is there a way to actually delete a file? e.g. you accidentally created a very large file or something?

      What do you mean by? rm huge-file.zip should delete the file for you.

      If it's not that, I'm happy to understand or open an issue if you try it out. It's OSS

    neat idea. do you hook into the filesystem directly or is this more of a wrapper around specific apps

      It hooks into the filesystem directly. Undo runs as a background watcher on a folder/project, sees file changes regardless of which app made them, and snapshots local history into ~/.undo/.

      So it’s not wrapping specific apps like Cursor, VS Code, etc. Any editor or tool that writes files is covered.

      It's also OSS, you can check it out.
