Never Lose a Game
Save Again.
SaveVault automatically backs up your game saves, restores them on any machine, and protects them in real time while you play.
Backups that take care of themselves
Detection, scheduling, live protection, and verified restores — for a library that spans launchers, drives, and machines.
Automatic detection
Scans your system against the PCGamingWiki / Ludusavi database to find every game worth protecting — plus your own custom paths.
Live Protection
Real-time rolling snapshots while you play, triggered by file changes, a global hotkey, or an L3+R3 controller checkpoint. The launch wrapper covers games started from Steam, Heroic, or Lutris. Roll back a bad save in seconds.
Scheduled backups
Set an interval and forget it. Change-detection skips untouched games, and retention prunes old backups automatically.
Restore anywhere
Portable zip, tar.gz, or tar.zst archives, each with a README for restoring by hand, restore cleanly across machines and operating systems, with path remapping built in. Windows registry keys and Proton prefix hives travel with them.
Your cloud, your rules
Optional rclone mirroring to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and more. Your saves, your storage — no SaveVault servers.
Verified integrity
Every backup carries BLAKE3 checksums, verified on creation and restore, so you know a save is intact before you trust it.
One app, two ways to buy
Same core features everywhere; Steam adds achievements and Workshop sharing. It's open source under GPL-3.0 — build it yourself for free, or grab a ready-to-run installer and support development.
