Recover Lost Cursor Projects Automatically with Timebook

😱 "Cursor deleted my project!"

We've all been there. You're vibing with AI, making rapid changes, and suddenly files are gone, code is broken, or you can't find that working version from an hour ago.

Cursor is an amazing AI-first code editor, but when you're moving fast with AI assistance, things can go wrong. Timebook is your safety net.

How Timebook Protects Your Work

Timebook runs in the background and automatically creates snapshots of your project every 5 minutes. Think of it as automatic save points for your entire codebase.

Setup in 3 Steps

Install Timebook CLInpm install -g timebook-cli
Link Your Project
Sign up at console.timebook.sh, create a project, then run:
timebook login timebook link timebook sync --initial
Code with Confidence
That's it! Your code is now automatically snapshotted every 5 minutes. View your timeline from any device.

Recovering Lost Work

If Cursor (or any AI tool) deletes files or makes unwanted changes:

Open your Timebook web dashboard at console.timebook.sh
Navigate to your project timeline
Browse snapshots to find the version you want
View diffs to see exactly what changed
Restore a single file or your entire project with one click

Real User Story

"I was using Cursor to refactor my React app. The AI suggested changes that broke everything, and I couldn't undo it all. With Timebook, I just opened my timeline, found the snapshot from 10 minutes ago, and restored it. Life saver!"

Why Not Just Use Git?

Git is great, but it requires manual commits. When you're in the flow with Cursor, you don't want to stop and commit every few minutes. Timebook works invisibly in the background — no interruptions, no mental overhead.

Plus, Timebook captures everything, even uncommitted work. If you forget to commit before a major refactor, Timebook still has your back.

Works with All Development Workflows

Whether you code with AI assistance or prefer traditional methods, Timebook has your back. It works seamlessly with any editor or workflow:

AI-Powered Editors: Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codeium, Tabnine
AI Assistants: Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT, Gemini, v0.dev, Lovable.ai
Traditional Editors: VS Code, Sublime Text, Vim, IntelliJ IDEA
Any Workflow: Solo development, rapid prototyping, production apps

💡 The beauty of Timebook: It doesn't matter how you code or what tools you use. Timebook watches your files and protects your work automatically — no integration needed.
