The record

Purpose: OpenSave syncs game saves between a user's devices, including saves for emulators and games outside Steam Cloud.
Automatic detection: The site says OpenSave includes an offline, community-maintained database indexing more than 20,000 games and can also track a chosen folder or file.
Live sync: Devices discover each other on the same Wi-Fi or can pair across the internet using a room code, without port forwarding or an account.
Snapshots and conflicts: OpenSave creates versioned snapshots, supports rollback and branches, and asks users how to resolve detected save conflicts.
Integrations: Optional snapshot backups can be mirrored to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV, or a NAS folder.
Local network security: The site says devices communicate directly on LAN without a relay and saves are persisted on users' devices, or their own cloud storage if enabled.
Internet relay security: The site says internet sync uses an encrypted connection to a stateless relay, but that encryption ends at the relay, which could read forwarded data.
Self-hosting and API: The project says users can self-host the relay and drive its headless daemon and CLI through a local REST/WebSocket API.
CLI support: The headless daemon and CLI support scan, add, status, snapshot, rollback, branch, and checkout for servers, NAS devices, Steam Deck, and scripts.
Steam Deck limit: The site says the Linux tarball will not start on stock Steam Deck because SteamOS lacks WebKitGTK, and directs users to the Flatpak.
License and code: OpenSave is described as free, open source, and MIT-licensed, with its code hosted on GitHub.
Support and documentation: The site links to a getting-started guide, CLI documentation, Discord, GitHub issues, and bug reporting.
