## Kitsmith's take

Does exactly one thing: turn a folder into an anonymous, LAN-only SVN service in under a minute, with no accounts or authentication layer to configure. That simplicity is also its ceiling — a critical App Store review flags that the app can only launch at login rather than at system startup, which breaks unattended setups where a different account controls the repository. Free, from Langui.net (developer of record: 兰桂 吴), a solo publisher that has maintained a small suite of single-purpose macOS network-server utilities since 2015 and still ships icon and compatibility updates for new macOS releases.

## Features

- **One-minute setup:** Launch the app, create a repository, start the service — no separate SVN installation or config file.
- **svn:// protocol on port 3690:** Works with any standard SVN client, same as a self-hosted server.
- **Actively updated for current macOS:** Still shipping icon and compatibility updates as of late 2025, a decade after its original release.
