Competitors mentioned: allowlists with manual command approval, version control systems (implicit alternative for file recovery)
Concerns raised: doesn't recover data if not already watching directory, can't handle external side effects, macOS-only right now
Feature requests: Linux support, configurable time windows and disk space caps
