WHY DOTDEN
Everything that makes a computer yours.
Private by design
Your files live in a Git repository you own. dotden never stores them on a server — it just keeps them in sync.
Every environment in sync
Commit once and your setup follows you to the next computer. macOS, Linux, and Windows, side by side.
No command line needed
A clean desktop app for your dotfiles — all the safety of version control, none of the yak-shaving.
MANAGED, NOT JUST SET UP
Set up in a minute. Managed for good.
Point dotden at a repository you own and pick what to track — then it's synced. From there, dotden handles the day-to-day: every change reviewed, committed, and applied across your environments.
- Review every change before it syncs
- Commit and roll back any file
- Apply updates across every environment
