Rewindex - Reduce the risk of AI breaking your code.

Records what your AI changed before you realize something broke. Audit and recover from your AI chat or the built-in dashboard. Free, runs locally.

  • Versioning: snap, rewind, and track every change your AI makes
  • Change visibility: view diffs, session logs, and full file history
  • Changelog: flag milestones and export as CHANGELOG.md
  • Audit code: let your AI review and audit it, or browse it yourself via the built-in dashboard

Works with any AI agent via MCP. Works with Git. Rewind the code that you didn't commit.

rewindex.org | GitHub


What you get

  • Auto backup - every file change is captured automatically. Nothing is ever lost.
  • Built-in dashboard - browse snapshots, view diffs, and rewind from the browser or your AI chat. No extra install. No coding required.
  • Free to start - free forever. No credit card. Upgrade only when you need more.
  • Runs locally - everything stays on your machine. No cloud. No account required.
  • Audit code - your AI already knows which file to check. Give it a bug and it traces that file's history to find exactly when it broke.

Try it! Then ask your AI if it likes it.
