Back up your PC game saves and keep them in sync between your Windows PCs.
- Finds the saves of about 14,000 games on its own, from any store or none.
- Keeps a versioned backup with restore points in any folder: your Google Drive or OneDrive folder, a NAS share or an external drive. Works with just one PC.
- Syncs saves between your PCs with Syncthing, straight from PC to PC, end-to-end encrypted.
- Never overwrites a save behind your back: when two PCs changed the same save, you pick which one to keep.
- Leaves what Steam Cloud, OneDrive and Ubisoft Connect already sync to them, and holds syncing while a game runs.
- Free and open source. No account, no telemetry.
Save locations come from the Ludusavi manifest, which is built from PCGamingWiki. If a game's save location is missing or wrong, fixing it on the wiki fixes it for everyone.
I made Syncer because I play on more than one PC and couldn't find anything that kept my saves safe and in sync on its own, for every game and every store.
Download Syncer for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit). It installs for your user only, with no admin prompt, and updates itself. Syncer.exe on the releases page is a portable copy.
Then open Syncer: it installs Syncthing with one click if you don't have it, and Backup lets you pick the backup folder. To add a second PC, install Syncer there and paste its ID on Devices.
Syncer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may say "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway.
- Setup details and questions: linking PCs, restoring a save, anti-cheat, Steam Cloud, Ludusavi, firewall, uninstalling
- All features and how it works
- Privacy: Syncer has no server of its own and the developer receives no data from it
- Something wrong, or a game not found? Open an issue. The log is under Settings → Activity log.

- Syncthing needs both PCs on at the same time; a PC that is off catches up through the backup.
