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.

Why Use This Mod?

🎯 Undo misplays — Accidentally discarded the wrong card? Go back and try again
🧪 Experiment freely — Test risky strategies without committing
📸 Automatic snapshots — Creates a save whenever the game saves (blind selection, hand play/discard, shop, etc.)
⚡ Instant restore — Press S to step back, no menus needed
🔄 Undo your undo — Stepped back too far? rewinded saves stay in the list until you make a new move
🎮 Full controller support — Works great with gamepad

Toggle save points — Choose which moments create saves:
- Choosing blind
- Selecting hand (after play/discard)
- End of round
- In shop

Display Options:

Show blind image — Display blind icons (Small/Big/Boss) instead of round numbers in save list
Blind image effects — Enable hover animation and sound on blind icons (on by default)

Advanced:

Limit saves — Keep only recent antes (1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, or All; default: 4)
Debug: verbose logging — Show detailed save operation logs
Delete all — Clear all saves for current profile

Save Data Location

Saves are stored in your Balatro profile folder:

[Balatro Save Path]/[Profile]/SaveRewinder/

.jkr files — The actual save data, named <ante>-<round>-<timestamp>.jkr
.meta files — Cached metadata for faster loading.

⚠️ Note: Saves are only kept for your current run. Saves persist even if you quit the game mid-run — when you reopen and continue your run, all saves will still be available. Starting a new run will delete all previous saves.
