Everything SaveVault does
A complete save-management toolkit — detection, protection, and restore — for a library that spans launchers, drives, and machines.
Automatic game detection
SaveVault scans your whole system against the PCGamingWiki / Ludusavi database — thousands of games — and finds saves across your Steam and GOG libraries and more. Launcher install roots are auto-discovered for Epic, EA App, Battle.net, and the Microsoft Store on Windows, and for Heroic, Lutris, and Legendary on Linux; on any OS you can add roots by hand. Anything it misses, you can add as a custom game in seconds.
Learn moreLive Protection
Turn on rolling snapshots and SaveVault captures your save the moment a game writes it — or the instant you hit the global hotkey or the L3+R3 controller checkpoint, so it works in Game Mode with no keyboard. Roll back a corrupted file, a bad trade, or a botched mod install in seconds, without leaving your game.
Learn moreScheduled backups & retention
Pick an interval and forget it. Change detection skips games that have not been touched, retention automatically prunes the oldest backups, and pinning protects the ones you want to keep forever. Passes run even when the app is closed.
Learn moreRestore anywhere
Every backup is a portable, self-describing archive that resolves paths against the current machine — so a save from one PC restores cleanly to another, even across Windows, Linux, and macOS. Preview every restore with a dry run, and remap paths when your library moves.
Learn moreCloud backup, your storage
Mirror your backup folder to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, FTP/FTPS, SFTP, SMB, or an existing rclone remote of those types — using your own account. A PC, a Steam Deck, and a Steam Frame can share one folder: every backup is tagged with its device, and SaveVault warns before a restore would drop another device's progress. SaveVault runs no servers and never holds your saves.
Learn moreBuilt for Steam Deck
An interface built to Valve's Deck Verified checklist: gamepad-navigable, touch-friendly, sized for 1280×800, with the on-screen keyboard and suspend/resume handled. SaveVault resolves saves inside Proton/Wine prefixes too.

Launch wrapper
Wrap any game from Steam, Heroic, Lutris, or Playnite: restore and cloud-pull before it starts, back up and push after it exits, with the L3+R3 checkpoint armed while you play.
Launcher cloud-sync warnings
When a game also syncs through Steam, GOG, Epic, EA, Ubisoft, or Xbox, a restore warns that the launcher may overwrite the files you just restored.
Registry & Proton hives
Windows registry keys and Proton prefix hives are backed up with the files and restored with them, so settings stored there are not left behind.
Open archive formats
Choose zip, tar.gz, or tar.zst. Every archive carries a README.txt, so you can restore by hand without SaveVault.
Multi-device sharing
Point several devices at one backup folder. Filenames carry a device tag and retention is kept per device.
Undo any restore
Every restore first archives what it is about to overwrite, so a bad restore is one click from reversed.
Per-file control
Preview exactly what a backup will collect, uncheck noise, and restore a single save slot.
Verified integrity
BLAKE3 checksums on every backup, checked on creation and restore.
Path redirects & remap
Rewrite path prefixes for moved libraries, or remap a single root per restore.
Custom games
Add your own save paths, config paths, and registry keys, and share them as TOML.
Launcher auto-discovery
Auto-discovers install roots for the launchers on your OS (Epic, EA, Battle.net on Windows; Heroic, Lutris, Legendary on Linux), plus GOG — or add roots by hand anywhere.
One-paste diagnostics
A single command reports how a game was detected, every path it tried, and the exact backup plan.
Themes & builder
Four built-in palettes — Dark, Light, Synthwave Dark, and Synthwave Light — plus a full custom theme builder.
Translations
Seven shipped languages, a built-in locale editor, and Steam Workshop sharing (Steam edition).
CLI + GUI
A polished desktop app and a full command-line interface that share everything.
Tray & notifications
System tray, start-with-OS, and desktop notifications for backups and updates.
Never Lose a Save Again
Back up, restore, and protect your game saves across every platform you play on.
