Compaction can hide earlier work
Long coding sessions may compact old context. DataMoat watches local records so newly written lines can be saved quickly.
Claude Code backup
Keep a searchable encrypted copy of Claude local work records.
Claude coding sessions can contain valuable prompts, files, fixes, tool output, and locally written thinking blocks. DataMoat captures supported Claude CLI and Claude Desktop local-agent records into an encrypted local vault so the work remains reviewable after compaction, cleanup, or a machine move.
Why Claude users need a local backup
Great fixes are hard to rediscover
Search the encrypted vault for a previous error, shell command, migration, prompt, or design decision.
Local-first by design
Your Claude backup stays on your machine. DataMoat does not upload prompts or transcripts to a DataMoat cloud service.
