verified local checkpoints

Let the agent cook. Keep an undo button.

Savestate creates verified local checkpoints before coding agents change your project—so you can inspect, restore, and recover safely.

How it works

Safe experiments, without the cleanup.

Git protects the history you commit. Savestate protects the local working state around it.

01
Checkpoint
Capture and verify the project state before work begins.
$ savestate create --label "before agent"
02
Let the agent work
Use Codex or Claude hooks, or wrap any agent command.
$ savestate run -- codex
03
Inspect
Review every changed, added, and removed path locally.
$ savestate diff
04
Restore if needed
Preview the rollback, then restore the verified checkpoint.
$ savestate restore --dry-run

Conservative by design

Restoring local state is destructive. Savestate treats it like a transaction: verify, preserve, stage, swap, and verify again.

Content-addressed checkpoints are verified when created, explicitly checked, and restored.

Run a dry restore first. Savestate checks live state again before it changes anything.

Durable restore journals support explicit resume or rollback instead of leaving state ambiguous.

Opt into ignored paths, external roots, and local databases when your project needs them.

Install your way

Install Savestate, initialize it in your project, then connect Codex or Claude in one command.

curl -fsSL https://savestatecli.dev/install.sh | sh

Downloads the latest prebuilt binary for macOS or Linux and verifies its checksum.
