Restore to any point in time
Your AI workspace is the most valuable thing on your machine. Memory files, agent configs, daily logs, custom scripts, workflow templates — it accumulates over months of use and becomes irreplaceable. Most people have no backup for it. One bad migration, one corrupted drive, one accidental delete, and it's gone.
The Automated Brain Backup runs every night at 11:55pm via a macOS LaunchAgent. It commits your entire workspace to a private GitHub repo as a new commit. Every commit is a recoverable snapshot. If something breaks, you restore to any previous night's state with one command. If you accidentally delete something, it's in the commit history.
The backup uses the gh CLI — no personal access tokens to generate or rotate. Authentication is handled by your existing GitHub CLI session. The LaunchAgent configuration auto-starts on login, so the backup runs reliably even after reboots without manual intervention.
The .gitignore template is pre-configured to exclude secrets, API keys, and environment files. You get full workspace protection without accidentally committing credentials. The verification script checks after each backup that the commit landed correctly — so you know every morning that last night's backup was clean.
We've been running this since March 2026. It's saved us once already — during a Mac Mini migration that corrupted the OpenClaw config directory. We restored to the previous night's state in under 3 minutes. That recovery wasn't theoretical: we watched it work in a high-stress situation, and it performed exactly as designed.
At $9, this is the lowest-risk purchase on this entire marketplace. The cost of not having a backup when you need one is measured in days of re-configuration work, re-writing memory that can't be reconstructed, and the specific frustration of losing something that took months to build. One restore pays for this dozens of times over.
