AppVault

Move an app's data to a backup drive.

A macOS app scatters its data across a dozen folders under ~/Library — Application Support, Containers, Caches, Preferences, Saved State, Logs, and more. AppVault finds every one of those locations for a given app, moves the data that actually exists onto a backup drive, and hands you the exact shell commands to reverse the move whenever you want it back.

What it does

Status: Built — the discovery-and-planning engine is complete and unit-tested. It currently runs as a macOS utility library/CLI; the full packaged app (with a folder picker and one-click execute) is not yet wired or released. Source lives in a private GitHub repository.
