Tiny CLI tool to save and restore snapshots of your computer's application state.
Do you often find yourself opening the same set of apps everyday to get your day started? Are you ever in the middle of working on a project, you have your code editor open, a million chrome tabs plus your software and realize you need to close it all and switch contexts but don't want to lose everything you had open?
Look no further than bonfire! Bonfire allows you to set restoration checkpoints, keeping track of which apps you had open and what you were working on so that you can easily re-open them and continue working without hassle.
Whitelist which applications you want bonfire to track, rename your bonfire restore points and create custom keybindings to speed up your workflow.
Bonfire is built with Python so you'll need python 3.6+ and pip. Next clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/benjaminkostiuk/bonfire
If you want to install the bonfire CLI in a virtual environment you can use Python venv.
mkdir venv
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate.bat
