SaveCircle - Don't Forget to Save
I have been looking for an app or plugin that would auto-save a working document, mainly to show clients how the design has been built up and it’s always nice to look back to see how the design has progressed.
Jon Hicks has recently shown the time line of his workings for Mailchimp and Silverback which shows how the logos progressed from sketches to final version. This provides an interesting drawing process that designers usually take for granted but I’m sure clients sometimes find helpful?
I think most designers (and others) periodically press ‘command+S’, because when that spinning beach-ball appears we worryingly think, “when did I last save!?” And when I save, unless you are in a habit of saving as different files then I just overwrite the file with the latest version removing the design stages.
I found SaveCircle
Although this app isn’t quite the solution I was looking for it could be quite useful. I wanted something that would save the current document every so often without alerting you, but save files in a folder for you to look at later.
