| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| Product type | Cloud‑enabled file archiving & version‑control utility (Windows 10/11, macOS 13+, Linux) |
| Core idea | Combine traditional ZIP compression with time‑based snapshots, so you can “rewind” a folder to any point in its history. |
| Key new capabilities (v2.0 – “New”) | 1. Incremental Time‑Slices – only the changes since the last snapshot are stored, saving up to 80 % space.
2. AI‑Smart Deduplication – uses a lightweight neural net to detect duplicate content across archives.
3. Embedded Media Previews – thanks to the partnership with Kova Labs, audio/video files can be previewed directly from the archive UI.
4. One‑Click Cloud Sync – push/pull snapshots to/from TimeZip Cloud (free 10 GB tier). |
| Typical use‑cases | • Developers backing up source code with granular history.
• Artists (like Alina Kova) archiving large media libraries while keeping quick preview access.
• Small businesses needing affordable, versioned backups without a full‑blown VCS. |
| Pricing (as of 2024‑09) | - Free tier – 10 GB cloud, 3 simultaneous snapshots per folder.
- Pro tier – $9.99 /mo, unlimited snapshots, 1 TB cloud, priority support.
- Enterprise – custom pricing, on‑premise server option. |
