Save Rewinder

English | 简体中文

Undo mistakes. Experiment freely. Never lose progress.

Save Rewinder automatically creates save points as you play Balatro, letting you rewind to any recent moment with a single keystroke.

• 📸 Automatic snapshots — Creates save points for every action (blind selection, hands, shop).
• ⚡ Instant Undo — Press S (keyboard) or L3 (controller) to rewind immediately.
• 🔁 Quick Saveload — Press L (keyboard) or R3 (controller) to instantly reload.
• ⭐ Key Saves — Mark important saves and filter the list to key saves only.
• ✏️ Rename Saves — Rename save entries in the save list.
• ⬇️ Export Saves — Export selected save files to any directory on your system.
• 💀 Game Over Rewind — Rewind to your last save directly from the game over panel.
• 🧪 Experiment Freely — Test strategies without fear; stepped-back saves stay available until you make a new action.
• 🛡️ Score Overflow Protection — Rewind/save-load safely with extreme naneinf/inf scores (optional clamp to 1.8e308).

⚠️ Important: Ensure Mods/SaveRewinder/ contains mod files directly (like main.lua), not another nested SaveRewinder folder.

When you lose a run, the game over panel includes a button so you can jump straight back into the timeline.

Configuration

In the Steamodded config menu for Save Rewinder:

• Choose when to save (Blind, Hand, Round, Shop).
• Toggle blind icons and animations.
• Set max antes to keep (Default: 4).
• Set max saves per type per round (Default: 16).
• Configure overflow score handling (cap at 1.8e308 or keep as naneinf).
• Customize keyboard and controller keybinds.

Save Data Location

Saves are stored in [Profile]/SaveRewinder/. ⚠️ Note: Saves are for the current run only and are cleared when starting a new run. Quitting and continuing later preserves your full history.

Exported saves are written to [Balatro folder]/SW-Exports/[Profile]/ by default. You can override this in the Export tab of the mod settings.
