Sven's Mission
The WordPress.org plugin directory requires SVN — there’s no Git option, no API shortcut. Every developer who’s shipped a plugin has either memorized a handful of commands or copy-pasted them from a tutorial. Neither is great when you’re doing it on launch day with hundreds of users waiting on a bug fix.
Sven Does.
The live file watcher
FSEvents with a 500ms debounce means the sidebar reflects reality the instant you save a file. No manual refresh.
The bundled SVN
SVN runs inside the app with no environment variables, on any macOS 14+ machine, even one that’s never had Homebrew.
One-click deploy
Sven reads your plugin headers, stages unversioned files if you want, commits trunk, and tags the version — all in a single flow with a live log.
Free Forever. No catch
The app is free forever and the source is on GitHub under MIT. No catch.
