NoteVault: Version safety net for AI-edited notes
Auto-snapshots notes when AI agents edit them, so deleted pages and old versions are always recoverable
- Problem
- One product added version history to synced notes because AI agents now edit them directly, and users need rollbacks when agents delete or corrupt content. Many PKM and note-taking users want agent automation but fear losing important pages with no way to recover.
- Solution
- A lightweight local or cloud watcher that monitors Markdown note folders, takes automatic time-based snapshots, flags edits made by AI agents, and offers one-command or menu-bar restore of any historical version and deleted files, without locking users into one note app.
- Users
- Heavy note-takers using Obsidian, Logseq, or plain Markdown who also run AI coding/writing agents.
- MVP
- Watch a chosen folder for changes; automatic incremental snapshots; per-file version history; one-click restore of a file or whole folder; keep deleted files for 30 days.
- Revenue
- Free tier limited by snapshot retention days; Pro monthly subscription; team plan per seat.
- Why now
- AI agents are moving from chat windows into local file editing, but most note tools have no protection against agent mistakes. An indie developer can build a generic cross-app version safety layer.
