Keep co-op worlds alive, even when the host is offline

SaveSync started with a simple frustration. AG and KB used to play Schedule 1 together. KB was the host. One day, AG was sick at home while KB was stuck at work. AG wanted to play, but couldn't. The save lived on the host's machine, and without the host, the game simply couldn't continue.

We looked for solutions. The options were bad: manually moving save files back and forth, or setting up dedicated servers that required subscriptions and constant maintenance. So we decided to fix it, first for ourselves.

As we started working on a solution, we realized we weren't alone. Players across many different co-op games were asking the same question: "How do we keep playing when the host is offline?" That's how SaveSync was born.

While adding support for Minecraft Java, we ran into another problem. Multiplayer without a Steam-like network was messy, especially for LAN-style co-op. So we built LAN Sync, a VPN-like system that works over the Steam network, making local co-op feel seamless even when players are far apart.

We're both game developers, working on SaveSync part-time, building the low-level systems, the UI, the guides, and the community, because we genuinely care about co-op games. Our goal is simple: To make co-op gaming better, no file juggling, no forced subscriptions, no barriers. Just play.
