Creative work
Try directions, then decide.
Save a state, explore freely, and compare before you commit.
You were never going to set up a repo anyway.
We know the _final_FINAL_fix2_DO_NOT_DELETE folder. Snapshots for the messy middle — binaries, assets, source files. Local, offline. Save now, think later.
Everything. One workflow.
Text, binaries, assets, large files — no exceptions. No server. No setup. No special handling.
01
Hit save. Move on.
Every save becomes a snapshot. Nothing overwrites, nothing disappears. Keep working, then come back whenever you need.
02
Your disk won't explode.
100 GB project, 50 snapshots — not 5 TB. Only the changes are stored, so repeated saves stay lean.
03
Go back to any point.
Not just undo. Restore any snapshot exactly as it was, or extract only the files you need.
04
Merge without the ceremony.
Combine two snapshots into a new one. Both originals stay untouched.
How it works
Pick a workspace. Save. Done.
One setup. Then just save.
First save may need ignore rules for temp files, caches, build outputs, or locked files. Read docs
Inside Rinne
Less UI. More flow.
Browse timelines, save snapshots, compare changes — all in one place.
Timeline browsing
Browse through snapshot history or switch Spaces without losing context.
Browse through snapshot history without losing context.
- Jump by id or date.
- Open overview, files, and notes from one place.
Create and switch Spaces when one workspace needs separate timelines.
- Keep each line of work on its own history lane.
- Create, rename, switch, or delete Spaces from one place.
Save snapshots your way
Switch between direct saves and lightweight automation without leaving the same lane.
Record the current state in one click whenever you want a clean checkpoint.
- Capture the full workspace as it is.
- Keep moving without extra ceremony.
Pick a time interval from the dropdown, turn Autosave on, and keep working.
- Standard only.
- Enable it with a simple toggle and interval list.
- If the current state matches the latest snapshot in the Space, nothing new is saved.
Snapshot notes
Add Markdown notes whenever a snapshot needs context.
- Explain why a state matters.
- Keep notes next to the history itself.
Extract and restore
Bring back the whole snapshot or only the paths you need.
- Restore complete states fast.
- Extract only the files you want.
Compare without leaving Rinne
Move across snapshot diffs, text diffs, and export paths from one comparison lane.
Check differences across snapshots, folders, and files by hash.
- Compare states without leaving the app.
- Inspect exactly what changed.
Inspect edits or rewrites side by side.
- Review text changes directly.
- Spot rewrites without switching tools.
Export selected paths when you want an external diff.
- Send only what matters to another tool.
- Stay selective instead of dumping everything.
Fuse snapshots
Layer snapshots to create new ones when paths overlap.
- Combine two snapshots into a new state.
- Keep the originals untouched.
Keep moving. Come back anytime.
For work that changes often and still needs a way back.
Large files
Keep heavy files under control.
Version binaries, assets, exports, and code together, all locally.
Milestones
Save a point before risky edits.
Go back with confidence whenever you need to.
Save snapshots
Chunk-deduplicated and compressed.
Split into Spaces
One phase, one space. Clear, independent, easy to follow.
Compare
Use the right diff for the job.
Fuse
Layer snapshots. Higher priority wins.
Extract and restore
Export selected paths. Restore full states anytime.
