Your file is named _final_REALfinal_v3.psd
Copying for every round clutters the folder — and nobody knows which one is actually latest.
Visual version history · macOS · local-first
Beyond a time machine that undoes mistakes,your work history becomes proof — and portfolio.
Go beyond Ctrl+Z — roll back to any past version anytime,and turn every track you debated into portfolio-ready proof of your work.
Sound familiar?
You overwrote a file and recovery made it worse
Time Machine or cloud restore sometimes wiped the work you were trying to save.
You can't find the draft from three days ago
The list shows similar dates, but you can't picture what that version looked like.
You can't see what changed at a glance
Adobe's version history alone doesn't answer "what's different between draft A and B?"
REFLO remembers every one of these moments for you.

Why Adobe version history or Time Machine isn't enough
Linear recovery doesn't show what changed and when. REFLO connects branching, compare, and replay in one flow.
| Feature | REFLO | Figma | Adobe CC | Dropbox | Time Machine |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All files (PSD, AI, Office, …) | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Visual branching | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Four compare modes | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Heatmap compare | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Version replay (File Player) | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
A combination Figma, Adobe, Dropbox, and Time Machine don't offer — format-agnostic version control.
Restore · Safety
Days or months back — restore with one click
Overwrote a file by mistake? Don't panic. Roll back to any version you need, anytime. REFLO also keeps your current file safe automatically right before you restore.
- Auto backup before restore — undo the undo
- Save as a new file or overwrite in place
- Open from Finder or restore straight into Photoshop
💡 vs Time Machine — Time Machine rewinds your whole Mac. REFLO picks the exact version inside the project you were working on.
Timeline · Branching
Visual idea tracks — readable timeline, no Git required
Still copying files every time a direction splits? Create a new work track safely with one click. Manage multiple ideas in one timeline — each on its own track, nothing lost in the shuffle.
- New tracks with clicks only — no terminal or complex version control
- Follow each idea track from creation to merge in intuitive graphics
- Highlight key milestones (client approvals, final deliverables) for faster alignment
💡 REFLO's timeline, not just file backup — designers read and steer their workflow track by track on a visual timeline.
Plugin · Photoshop
History and restore from the Photoshop panel
Stop bouncing between Photoshop and the REFLO app just to find a version. View history and restore from the REFLO panel in Photoshop, then continue detailed compare and replay in the Mac app.
- View history for the PSD you're editing — right in Photoshop
- Pin the moment you want with a manual checkpoint
- When the REFLO Mac app is running, the panel connects automatically
💡 How is this different from Adobe's built-in version history? — Unlike Adobe's cloud-focused history, local PSDs on your Mac get REFLO history you can browse and restore from the panel. Four compare modes and version replay continue in the REFLO desktop app.
Timeline · Zoom
Hundreds or thousands of versions — zoom in and out in an instant
Endless scrolling wears you down as history grows. REFLO lets you zoom out and shift time scales — find work from months ago in just seconds.
- Freely switch scale: time ➡️ day ➡️ month ➡️ year
- Smooth, lightweight browsing even with hundreds of versions
- Unified search to find the file or version you need
💡 Not just a long list you scroll — move through time itself instead of skimming text. Find that draft by feel, not by guessing "was it three days ago?"
Compare · Unique
Four compare modes — answer "what's different between A and B?"
Side-by-side alone misses subtle changes. Split, Overlay, Heatmap, and Blink catch layout, pixel, and tone shifts.
01. Split
Side by side — first pass for layout and copy changes.
02. Overlay
Stack and fade — pixel nudges and alignment drift.
03. Heatmap
Color only where it changed — scan the whole canvas once.
04. Blink
Alternate in place — tone and color shifts that static views miss.
Heatmap compare is REFLO-only — a change map Adobe, Figma, and Dropbox don't offer.
Replay · File Player
Not a version list — replay your process like a video
A flat text list can't hold the real story. From the first save to right now, see the doubts and flow behind your design come alive in REFLO's file player.
- Scrub the play bar and watch each version change at a glance
- 0.5× to 4× speed — breeze through hundreds of versions
- Prove the story behind your design to clients — why it looks like this
💡 A file player Dropbox, Time Machine, and Adobe don't have — beyond looking up the past, turn your process into portfolio and presentation power.
Storage · Delta
Large files, light saves —only what changed
Worried your drive will fill up every time you save a heavy PSD? REFLO doesn't duplicate the whole file — it smartly stores only what you actually changed. Stack as many versions as you want; disk grows only by the delta.
- Disk doesn't jump by full file size on every save — save freely without capacity pressure
- A 220MB file doesn't add 220MB each time — only the data you really edited is recorded
- Keep dense history in far less space than backing up your whole Mac with Time Machine
💡 Running out of space and deleting older work? — Full-copy backups fill disks fast and force you to erase the past. With REFLO's smart storage, the same Mac holds a much longer trail of your work.
Cloud · Optional
At home and at the office —work history without interruption
REFLO runs safely with your computer (local) at the center. Turn on Cloud History on Pro and pick up the same idea tracks and work history when you switch places or Macs.
- Your local machine holds the canonical record; cloud is the bridge between devices.
- Seamlessly connects work versions between home and office Macs.
- Base plan stays local-only; Pro lets you optionally enable cloud sync.
💡 History sync, not just file sync — Unlike simple file-copy cloud services, REFLO syncs the full work context: idea tracks (branches), version history, and compare metadata.
Efficient storage
Smartly saves only what changed. (Disk use may vary slightly depending on how you work.)
Safe auto backup
Saves your current state right before restore — so you can undo the undo with confidence.
Find in 3 seconds
Even with thousands of files, find the past version you need in just seconds.
All file types
Safely manage almost every format you use in design work — no extension limits.
Safe on your Mac
Work history is stored on your Mac first. Enable cloud sync only when you need it.
Photoshop, built in
Browse history and restore from the Photoshop panel. Compare and replay continue in the Mac app.

FAQ
Most tools only roll files back to a past copy or overwrite with the latest. REFLO supports local PSD, AI, and Office files on your Mac — with visual tracks to see idea flow, four-way compare (including heatmap), and version replay to watch how work evolved. It's built to show not just when you saved, but what actually changed.
Don't lose another version of work you care about.
