Hoard
What it is
Hoard syncs game saves between devices and maintains versioned backups on Linux, macOS, Windows, or a self-hosted setup. It detects when a player stops playing and then syncs saves automatically. If two machines have different saves, the newer one takes precedence and the other is backed up locally. Snapshots are kept indefinitely, so users can return to an earlier version; Hoard also checks files with SHA-256 and hashes them again during restoration. It can identify libraries including Steam, Epic, GOG, Proton, and Wine, and uses the Ludusavi manifest for thousands of titles. The site says save paths for 71 games have been checked by hand. Save export in the original game format is available on the free tier. Hoard can also be self-hosted with the same Rust binary, without an account or quotas. The free plan is free and includes 2 GB cloud storage, three devices, and saves up to 1–1.5 GB. Pro costs €1.99 per month and includes 100 GB storage, unlimited devices, and saves up to 10 GB.
