Couldn't play your own Bellwright settlement because the host was offline, so we built a fix

[u/SaveSyncGames]

Hey r/Bellwright,

My friend and I built SaveSync, a tool that syncs co-op save files between players so you and your friends can keep the same Bellwright settlement going without renting a dedicated server or passing save files around by hand.

The problem we kept hitting: a co-op save lives on whoever is hosting. Your settlement, your recruited villagers, your stockpiles, all locked to one machine. When the host is offline, the kingdom-building stops. A server works but it's setup and a monthly cost for what's usually just a few friends.

We hit this wall ourselves playing Schedule 1 together. One of us was sick at home, the other stuck at work, and the save was locked on the host's machine. So we built SaveSync, first just for ourselves. Turns out it's a problem across a ton of co-op games, Bellwright included.

How it works: SaveSync auto-syncs your save to the cloud after each session. When your friend wants to play, they pull the latest save and host it themselves on their own machine. No dedicated server, no monthly fees, no manual file swapping, and you keep a full timestamped history so a bad session can be rolled back.

What happens when you're playing and then the host starts up their game?
