SaveSync

Sync your game saves across devices. Built for gamers who play on more than one machine.

SaveSync is a cloud save synchronization tool built for PC gamers who play on more than one machine. It automatically detects game save locations, syncs them to the cloud, and restores them on any other device. No manual file copying, no hunting through AppData folders – just install, pick your games, and your saves follow you.

The tool had to solve a surprisingly tricky problem: every PC game stores saves differently. Some use Documents, some use AppData, some use the game’s install directory, and some use the Windows Registry. SaveSync needed a detection system flexible enough to handle all of these patterns while being simple enough that a non-technical gamer could set it up in under a minute.

The core technical challenges included building a reliable file sync engine that handles conflict resolution (what happens when saves exist on both machines?), designing a game detection database that can be updated without shipping new builds, and keeping the background sync process lightweight enough that it doesn’t impact game performance. The tool is designed to stay out of the way – sync quietly, notify only when something needs attention.
