Your first draft is a beginning. UVC keeps a local history of the Windows files and folders you choose, so you can inspect earlier Checkpoints, see what changed, and restore a version worth bringing back. Your files stay where they are, and you keep working in the apps you already use. History lives on your PC; UVC complements, but doesn’t replace, an off-device backup.

Could you build this?
Partial The file-history UI, snapshotting, diffing, and restore flow are vibe-codeable, but reliable Windows file-system monitoring and Explorer/app integration without corrupting user data is harder than a typical CRUD app.
What it would actually take: Build a Windows desktop app (C#/.NET or Rust/Tauri) with a file-system watcher and a content-addressed or delta-based snapshot store kept locally, plus a diff/restore UI. The hard parts are efficient storage for large or binary files, safe restore under file locks, and shell integration. This needs solid Windows systems programming experience, not just AI-generated code.
