Dev Checkpoint – Save and restore coding context instantly

Summary: Dev Checkpoint captures your coding context—including git branch, active file, cursor position, open TODOs, and terminal history—with one keystroke and restores it in three seconds using a human-readable narrative. It operates entirely locally without cloud, AI, or configuration, preserving your mental workflow beyond just saved files.

What it does

It records detailed coding context on demand and restores it quickly, generating a deterministic narrative without external APIs or AI. The tool works immediately after installation and keeps all data on your machine.

Who it's for

Developers who want to preserve their mental context and workflow state during interruptions or task switching.

Why it matters

It addresses the loss of focus caused by interruptions by saving and restoring the full coding context, not just files, reducing recovery time.
