GUIness saves your work automatically so you don’t have to think about it. Both skills and pipelines are persisted to localStorage on a configurable interval, and an optional file system backup writes JSON files to a directory of your choice on every autosave tick — giving you a recoverable copy even if your browser storage is cleared.

localStorage autosave

Skills and pipelines are saved to localStorage at a configurable interval (default: 1 minute). The timestamp of the last successful save is shown in the top toolbar so you always know how fresh your backup is. No action is needed to enable localStorage autosave — it runs automatically from the moment you open GUIness.

File system backup

File system backup writes three JSON files to a directory you select, on every autosave tick. This requires granting GUIness write access to a local directory via the browser’s File System Access API.
1

Open the directory picker

Click the 📁 button in the top toolbar.
2

Select a backup directory

Your operating system’s file picker opens. Choose any local directory — GUIness will write backup files there on every save.
3

Autosave writes three files

On each autosave tick, GUIness writes the following files to the selected directory:
FileContents
pb-skills-autosave.jsonYour full skill library
pb-pipelines-autosave.jsonAll open pipelines
pb-autosave-snapshot.jsonCombined snapshot with timestamp

Page unload safety

A safety-net save fires whenever you close or refresh the tab. This catches any work done between the last autosave tick and the moment you leave the page, reducing the window of potential data loss to near zero.
File system backup requires HTTPS or localhost. It is not available when opening GUIness directly from the file system using the file:// protocol. Serve the file from a local server (for example, npx serve .) to enable this feature.
Point the backup directory at a cloud-synced folder such as Dropbox, OneDrive, or iCloud Drive. Every autosave tick will then push your latest skills and pipelines off-device automatically, giving you cross-machine recovery without any extra steps.
