Checkpoint
Automated backup tool for developers. Hourly backups of source code, databases (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB), and .env files. Encrypted cloud sync, native macOS dashboard, version history, and restore. Free for personal use. (by fluxcodestudio)
I working on an app I built called Checkpoint. It’s an open source backup system for developers that protects everything Git ignores. .env files, databases, credentials, local configs.
I started it after an AI coding agent destroyed my SQLite database mid-session for the third time. Git doesn't back up databases, and it shouldn't. But nothing else was doing it either.
It runs silently in the background and watches your project, detects changes, backs up to encrypted cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud). Supports SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB. Has a native macOS menu bar dashboard.
Free and open source. v2.7.0, 100% test coverage.
