Gamekeeper vs QSave

Gamekeeper is a Windows utility for identifying game-save directories and recording gameplay saves. Metadata files help locate save folders when games are added, and local scans support batch importing. Users can create multiple save Spaces for each game and visualized branches for different storylines or career choices. Incremental storage keeps only data changed from the previous save. Quick Save supports hotkeys, process monitoring, real-time saving, and scheduled saving; saving a game also creates a screen preview. Saves can be uploaded to private cloud storage and started on another device. Rclone synchronization supports local, FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, SMB/CIFS, and S3 sources, while automatic recognition covers Steam, GOG Galaxy, Epic Game Store, and XBOX PC. The software is in alpha testing, without beta or stable versions. Downloads require Windows 10/11 64-bit, and Process Tracking requires the.NET 9 runtime. The free plan costs nothing and limits Multi-Space to three per game. Default upload limits are 10MB for images and 100MB for videos.

QSave backs up video game save files to the user’s own Google Drive. It is free and open source, with downloads for Windows and macOS, including separate Apple Silicon and Intel Mac versions. Its game detection database supports more than 19,000 games, and the home page lists Steam, GOG, Epic and Battle.net. QSave searches installed games, and users can search and filter by those stores. Unsupported games can be added by selecting their save folder. Backups can be restored from Google Drive with one click. Cross-platform path remapping is intended to help carry saves between computers, and users can restore cloud-only games or choose a custom restore location. QSave keeps up to five backups per game, skips uploads when save files have not changed, and warns about possible restore or sync conflicts. Individual cloud backup versions can be deleted. The app can run in the system tray and optionally launch at startup. Windows and macOS may show an installation warning because QSave’s code-signing certificates cost money each year; Ko-fi contributions help fund those certificates.
