Automatic version history for creative work

Know what changed. Find any version.

Chronicle keeps a history of your creative images as you work. It explains each change in plain English, so you can find and restore the version you need in seconds.

Why Chronicle

Five files. One campaign. No clear final.

Every revision becomes another filename until nobody knows which file to open. Chronicle lets each asset remain one clean working file.

How it works

Choose a folder. Keep creating.

Chronicle works in the background. Each save becomes a version you can understand, find, and restore.

01 / 04Scroll to follow one save
01 · Save normally

Your tools stay exactly where they are.

Choose the folder once, then keep saving from Photoshop, Blender, or the creative tool you already use.

02 · Captured automatically

The save becomes a version.

Chronicle records it locally in the background. Nothing waits for AI, and earlier versions remain untouched.

03 · Explained and found

Remember the idea, not the filename.

Chronicle explains the visual change, then search finds the version from ordinary words like “the version with the tagline.”

04 · Restored safely

Go back without losing what came after.

Restoring version 6 creates a new version 9. The full creative history remains intact.

Made for real work

Your creative history stays yours.

Chronicle saves every version on your computer, even while you are offline. AI is optional and uses your own provider key, stored securely on your device. If you save while offline, Chronicle adds the explanation when you reconnect. No account is required. If you choose to sign in, settings sync and encrypted key backup can be enabled separately.

From first plan to working product.

We used IBM Bob to plan Chronicle, build its core features, test real creative workflows, solve integration problems, and prepare the app for release.
