Ambidex
Ambidex backs up PC game save files and organizes them into a structured collection.

About Ambidex
Ambidex is an open-source Windows desktop application for backing up PC game save files. It automatically detects game titles and locates save files using data from PCGamingWiki, and lets users browse their game library with cover art and metadata from IGDB. Users can add custom color-coded labels and text notes to their backups, and perform bulk or individual backup and restore operations. The app is built with Python and compiled with Nuitka, and is compatible with Windows 10 (version 1809 or later) and Windows 11.
