The recovery path

A clean rebuild, with evidence at every crossing.

ResetBridge treats recovery as a contract you can inspect—not a promise hidden inside an opaque image.

Capture what is yours

Select documents, source, working trees, allowlisted configuration, AppData, mappings, and opt-in encrypted secrets.

No old binaries or generated package folders.

A recovery contract you can read.

Every real backup carries machine-readable evidence and plain-language instructions. The backup is the source of truth—not an AI summary.

Optional AI assistant

Ask in plain language. Keep execution in human hands.

The assistant works through ResetBridge's approved tools. You see which screen it opens, what it reads from Windows, and the proposal it prepares. It cannot execute a backup, restore, install, or wipe.

Local recovery engine Tools-only interface You press Execute

Use a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint for local inference. Codex, Claude Code, and OpenRouter are optional network providers.

Public preview path

Install the verified preview. No Git required.

The command saves a versioned installer to disk, verifies its published SHA-256 hash, and only then runs it locally. The installer checks the release package again before anything is installed.

Clear boundaries

Before you trust a recovery tool, ask hard questions.

Read the security policy

Is ResetBridge a disk image?+

No. It intentionally separates selected data and configuration from software that should be fetched fresh. It is not a bare-metal clone or continuous backup service.

Can the AI assistant execute a restore?+

No. It can inspect metadata and propose a plan through a restricted tools interface. Only the user can start an Execute action in the native console.

Does everything stay local?+

The recovery engine and backup data processing run locally. With a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint, inference can remain local too. Network AI providers receive only the assistant context you choose, not automatic access to backup files.

Is it safe to wipe a real PC with the preview?+

ResetBridge is a supervised preview. Keep an independent second backup, verify checksums and coverage, and rehearse the exact restore selection before erasing a source machine.
