wtf is flowsave?

FlowSave is a Chrome browser extension that solves a common problem when chatting with AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini: sometimes a conversation is going really well, but a few messages later it drifts off track, and there is no easy way to get back to that earlier good version. FlowSave lets you save named checkpoints from any point in an AI conversation, similar to save slots in a video game, so you can return to them later. You create a checkpoint by selecting text in the chat and choosing Save as Checkpoint from the right click menu, then giving it a name, a rating from one to ten, tags, and optional notes. You can mark your most important checkpoints as Gold, and later filter your saved checkpoints by tag or Gold status to find what you need quickly. Checkpoints can also be organized by project, which helps if you are working on several things at once. When you want to pick up where a checkpoint left off, you open FlowSave, find the checkpoint you saved, and copy a restore prompt it generates for you. That restore prompt bundles the checkpoint's name, rating, tags, notes, and saved text together, so you can paste it into a brand new AI chat and continue as if you never left. Everything is stored locally in your browser using a built in browser database, so no account is needed and nothing is sent to any external server, according to the project's stated privacy approach. It works across any AI chat interface you use in the browser, not just one specific provider. The project is released under the MIT license, and installing it currently requires loading it manually as an unpacked extension in Chrome's developer mode, since it is not yet available on the Chrome Web Store.
