UVC is now available for Windows

The version you have is not the only version worth keeping. UVC gives your Project files a local history, so you can try another direction and find your way back.

A project with a past

The filename shouldn't have to remember everything.

The work changes as you think, test and make. Your folders shouldn't become a guessing game every time it does.

UVC gives a Project's files a local history, so you can explore another direction without turning your desktop into a museum of almost-final files.

A sequence of report filenames crossed out as each new version appears, ending with one selected report.docx file.
A small reminder that we've all been there.

Make. Change. Return. Keep going.

Add a folder as a Project. UVC keeps local history while you work. When a new direction doesn't work out, inspect an earlier Checkpoint and choose what to restore.

Choose a Project

Add the folder you want UVC to keep a history for. Your files stay where they are.

Keep working

Write, draw, plan and research in the applications and workflow you already know.

Look back with context

Inspect an earlier Checkpoint and decide which version is worth bringing back.

Try it: step back to a Checkpoint

Illustrative demo. Nothing is saved.

Start from the work, not another app.

Select a folder or files in Windows File Explorer. UVC's contextual Quick Actions offer the next useful step: create a Project, or add a Checkpoint to one you're already working in.

A global shortcut opens the overlay. Selected items take priority over the open directory, and UVC chooses the action from the existing Project context.

UVC Quick Actions

Not one kind of work. Not one way to get there.

UVC is for the folders that hold the moving parts of a project, whatever the work happens to be.

Artists & designers

Keep earlier studies, alternate compositions and the source files behind a finished piece within the Project's history.

Writers & editors

Rework a chapter, restructure a proposal or test a new opening without treating today's file as the only one that matters.

Thinkers & researchers

Follow a hunch, reorganise the material and test a different route. Keep a record of the work as it changes.

Good to know.

Make the thing.
Keep the way back.

Your current files and history stay on your PC. UVC gives your Project files a local history you can return to.
