Say goodbye to slow and HUGE Time Machine backups and all the mess that comes with your old machine if using Migration Assistant when you just need your apps up and running..

Thats where i bring you AppStateKeeper a user friendly GUI-app that allows you to easilly save snapshots of an app/s and restore all in the same app! Fully-Local, No-Telemetry or Internet access.

Other solutions like Chezmoi/Mockup require you to use (and be comfortable with using the Terminal and commands to memorize in order to use effectively. were as AppStateSaver has a simple to use GUI interface with an easy to understand overview of your backups.

Example use 1: Skip the accumulated bloat of your old Mac and setup a new fresh Macos, use AppStateSaver for proper Time Machine-like restores capturing only necessary config/settings files without the bloat.

Example use 2: Keep many snapshots of an app (organized easy to view in the app) restore to that excact app state whenever on what ever machine.

Pricing 4eur lifetime license, possible to test out with two app restores (free tier)

About me (Tier 2 Transparency)

My name is Hlynur Hreinsson and ive been a hobby developer for about a year now. Mainly making solutions for my own problems but i thought this one might help out others too therefore sharing here. Im often re setting up my 2nd mac and need a fresh install each time and now ended up creating this solution im calling AppStateSaver. Does a proper app restore better than any "sync" function ive come accross. Requires system settings to be setup manually etc (for now atleast new feature in the works!) if using as setup tool on two Macs. Making it an even closer to a Migration Assistant alternative. Able to skip all the old bloat from the host machine.

Say goodbye to huge and SLOW Time Machine backups.. I was fed up googling commands for the command-line only solutions out there like Chezmoi/Mackup and SHOCKED that nothing else is out there with a simple GUI interface..

Thats where i bring you AppStateKeeper! A user friendly GUI-app that allows you to easilly save snapshots of an app/s and restore all in the same app! Fully local/no telemetry or internet access required and NO! Terminal commands to memorize in order to use.. Github dmg link below:

Proper app state/snapshot saving and restoring made EASY no terminal skills or time machine patience needed!

AppStateSaver a app snapshot saver and restorerer in one app it searches all the neccasary files for you, including those critical config files that are often hidden away so it can capture a proper state of the app snapshot. Simple to use AND fully local on machine.

Perfect for keeping backups/snapshots on your machine OR as a new mac setup tool! Works with Homebrew! Needing just an upload of a previously saved batch of snapshots. Perfect for those (Like me) who was fed up by googling commands to do the most simplest things using tools like Chezmoi or Mockup that live as a Terminal/cmd-line only tools and not having the time or storage space for a full Time Machine setup.

Only 4eur for lifetime/as many instances as you like license. I have not yet seen anything that can do the same so simply and user friendly as AppStateSaver and therefore feel a low price of 4eur for a unique product on the market is fair.

Payment handeled in app via Stripe link. Compatible with macos Ventura and up.
