Anvilink v2.1

A local Mac snapshot vault for protecting active folders, reviewing changes, and restoring work with confidence. Version 2.1 adds Recovery Readiness, vault health checks, and clearer restore guidance.

Why it helps

Anvilink protects drafts, code folders, design assets, and working files with clear, restorable checkpoints - fully offline, with no account, no syncing service, and no setup beyond picking a folder.

Core tools

  • Create folder snapshots on demand or while watching a project
  • Score recovery readiness before a deadline or handoff
  • Review line-by-line diffs between saved and current versions
  • Restore in place or save a copy using the macOS save dialog
  • Star, tag, and annotate important versions for later reference
  • Pause and resume watching per folder

What's new in 2.1

Recovery Readiness

Vault Insights now grades whether a folder is easy to recover: recent snapshots, healthy vault data, starred milestones, protected file coverage, and disk-space pressure are checked together.

Actionable Findings

Instead of a vague status light, Anvilink explains what is strong, stale, missing, or risky so a user knows when to create a fresh checkpoint or clean up damaged vault data.

Better Restore Confidence

The app now surfaces recovery quality beside deduplication and storage details, bringing backup-style confidence to local project versioning without requiring a server or cloud account.
