FOR ANYONE WHO LETS AI WORK ON THEIR FILES

Your AI changed
your files.
Put them back.

FileSquirrelAI watches the folders you choose on your Windows PC, shows which AI agent changed each file, and undoes an agent's whole session with one click. Claude, Codex, Cursor, Copilot: one record, one undo.

WHY FILESQUIRRELAI

AI agents work fast.
So do their mistakes.

An agent can rewrite a report, delete a folder or "tidy up" a project in seconds, across dozens of files. FileSquirrelAI keeps the record and the copies you need to see what happened and put it back.

01

Every agent, one record

Each change in your folders, with the program that made it and the AI agent behind it, grouped into sessions you can read at a glance.

02

Undo a whole session

See every file first, untick what you want to keep, and put the rest back. Files the agent created go to the Recycle Bin. Changed your mind? Undo the undo.

03

Nothing leaves your PC

No account, no cloud. The log and the copies stay on your computer, within limits you set.

REVIEW & UNDO

See it all.
Put it back.

Click Review on a session to see every file it touched: what changed, what was created, what was deleted. Compare any text file before and after, side by side. Then undo the session, or just part of it.

Review One session, every file, one button to put it back
A Claude Code session in Review: six files changed, created or deleted, each with Compare, and an Undo This Session button
File History Every saved version of one file
File History for notes.md: five saved versions, two by Claude Code, one the person's last save kept just before the agent edited it
FILE HISTORY

Just one file?
Pick a version.

Right-click any file for its history: every version FileSquirrelAI kept, with who changed it. Compare one with the file now, save a copy of it, or restore it. Connected to Claude Code or Codex, it even keeps your last save from just before the agent edited.

ALWAYS WATCHING

Quiet until it matters.

FileSquirrelAI runs in the tray and records as your agents work. You hear from it when something deserves a look.

✓

Protected at a glance

Home says Protected when everything is working, and tells you plainly what to do when it isn't.

!

Burst alerts

One alert when a program deletes, renames or changes hundreds of files in seconds: a runaway agent or script.

?

Ask your assistant

Connect Claude Desktop and ask "what did the agent change today?". It reads the log; it never sees file contents.

YOUR AI TOOLS

Works with the agents you use.

FileSquirrelAI recognizes these out of the box, and you can add your own in Settings.

Claude CodeClaude DesktopOpenAI CodexCursorWindsurfGitHub CopilotGemini CLIAider

In an editor with a built-in AI (Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code), a change is shown as "you or its agent": it can't tell whose typing it was.

GETTING STARTED

Three things to try.

Setup takes a minute, and a short tour shows you around. Help, Take the Tour shows it again any time.

STEP 1

Run the short setup

Pick the folder your AI works in. Setup turns on undo for it and offers to connect Claude Code, Codex and Claude Desktop.

STEP 2

Let your AI work

Use it as usual. Each session shows up on Home as a card: which agent, when, what changed and where.

STEP 3

Review, then undo if you want

Click Review, compare a file, and try Undo This Session. Nothing changes until you confirm, and the undo can be undone.

YOUR FILES STAY YOURS

Nothing leaves your PC.

FileSquirrelAI has no account and sends nothing anywhere. Here is exactly what it keeps, and where.

What it recordsFile names, folders, times and sizes, and which program and AI agent made each change, in the folders you choose.
Copies for undoFor folders with undo on, compressed copies of files as they change, kept for 7 days in up to 2 GB by default. You can change both.
Where it livesAll of it stays in C:\ProgramData\FileSquirrel on your PC.
A small service"FileSquirrelAI Monitor" does the watching, using Windows' own event tracing to see which program made each change.
Your assistantOnly if you connect it: Claude Desktop can read the log to answer your questions. It never gets file contents.
FeedbackOnly when you send it: Help, Send Feedback opens an email you can read before sending.
QUESTIONS

Good to know.

Windows warned me about the download. Is it safe?

The installer and the programs are signed by DistillAI. Because FileSquirrelAI is new, Windows SmartScreen may still say "Windows protected your PC" until it builds a reputation: choose More info, check that the publisher is DistillAI, then Run anyway. If the publisher isn't DistillAI, don't run it, and tell us.

Is it a backup?

No. It keeps recent versions of files that change, for a few days, on the same PC, so you can undo what an agent did. Keep your usual backups.

Can it undo something from before I installed it?

No. It can only put back what it kept, so undo works for sessions after undo was turned on for that folder. Setup turns it on for your first folder; add more in Settings, General (the Snapshots column).

How much room do the copies take?

Up to 2 GB and 7 days by default, which you can change in Settings, Snapshots. Copies are compressed and identical files are stored once. Files over 25 MB, large media and archives, and folders like .git, node_modules, bin and obj are skipped.

Will it slow my PC down?

It's built to stay out of the way: Windows tells it when files change, and it copies only changed files in folders with undo on. If you notice anything, please tell us; that's what the beta is for.

Which AI tools does it work with?

Claude Code, Claude Desktop, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and Aider out of the box, and any program you add in Settings, Agents. Changes made by programs without an agent are recorded too; they're in Activity.

How do I uninstall it?

Windows Settings, Apps, Installed apps, FileSquirrelAI, Uninstall. It asks whether to keep your log and copies, and takes its connections to Claude Code, Codex and Claude Desktop back out.
