Folder snapshots, safer

Anvilink

Folder snapshots, safer

Anvilink is a local Mac snapshot vault for people who need confidence before changing important project folders. Pick a folder, create checkpoints, compare file versions, mark key milestones, and restore work without setting up a server, account, or cloud sync service.

Features

What it does

Create folder snapshots on demand or while watching a project.
Review saved versions and compare changes before restoring.
Restore in place or save a copy through standard macOS panels.
Star, tag, and annotate important milestones.
Export folder history for audits or handoffs.
Review vault storage, deduplication, and health details.
Check Recovery Readiness before a deadline.

Use Anvilink for active project folders, drafts, code experiments, client handoffs, design files, research folders, and other local work where "undo" should survive beyond a single app session.

Core tools:

New Recovery Readiness in version 2.1 evaluates recent snapshots, starred milestones, protected file coverage, vault integrity, and available disk space. It turns raw version history into a practical recovery score with clear findings, so you know whether a folder is well protected or needs a fresh checkpoint.

Anvilink runs locally on your Mac. It does not require an account, analytics SDK, advertising SDK, camera, microphone, contacts, calendar, location access, or a network connection. File access is limited to folders and files you explicitly choose through macOS file panels.

Privacy

Private by design

Anvilink does not require an account and does not include third-party advertising or analytics SDKs. Content you create stays in the app on your device unless you explicitly export or share it. See the privacy policy.
