StepWind 1.0.0
´╗┐## StepWind 1.0.0
An undo button for your whole PC. Real-time protection against accidental moves, renames, deletes, and bad saves - free, open source, 100% local. No cloud, no account, no telemetry.
Highlights
- Flight recorder - a plain-English, one-click-undo timeline of file operations across your drives (NTFS + ReFS/Dev Drive where Windows provides a change journal).
- Folder time machine - continuous, deduplicated, compressed version history for the folders you choose (any filesystem). Same-named folders on different drives each keep their own history.
- AI-agent safety net - a built-in MCP server (read + additive only) plus an auto-installed Agent Skill so tools like Cursor and Claude checkpoint before risky edits, diff, and restore safely.
- Optional AES-256-GCM encryption at rest with a passphrase recovery key; optional index encryption too.
- Hardened - the elevated service's pipe is local-only, DoS-bounded, and identity-verified; per-user authorization isolates each account's history; updates are fail-closed (checksum + pinned signature, never a silent unsigned install).
- Enterprise-ready - central Group Policy / MDM control (ADMX template), enforced settings + mandatory folders, and a SIEM-forwardable audit trail (Application log, StepWind.Audit source). See enterprise/README.md.
- A setup that respects you - one screen, no license click-through, no bundled anything, and the uninstaller asks whether to keep or erase your saved version history (silent and scripted uninstalls always keep it).
- Accessible, international, x64 + ARM64.
