About Shulker Box

Your chest on D:\,
not on fragile C:\.

School and lab machines often reset C:\Users\… every session. Shulker Box is a small portable app you keep on a USB stick or network drive. Pack before logout, unpack when you're back.

What it backs up

  • Chrome, Telegram, Cursor, VS Code profiles
  • SSH keys, Git config, wallpapers
  • Custom folders (projects, saves, mods)
  • Windows registry + display language

Where data lives

  • backup/latest/ next to the app
  • enabled.json (which apps are ON)
  • custom_folders.json (your extra paths)
  • In-app updates keep your chest safe

What it does

Every app.
One chest.

Toggle ON/OFF per tile, pack in one click, and see exactly what's already in the chest.

Per-app toggles

Green ON, red OFF, gold dot when already packed. Click to select, click again to flip.

Custom folders

Browse with the Windows Explorer picker. Paths restore via shulkerbox-source.txt in the chest.

Stats & sizes

Packed count, total chest size, and per-item source vs in-chest sizes in the detail panel.

Windows settings

Registry and display-language backup on every pack. Collapsible status row in the UI.

Pack & unpack

Close running apps (optional), copy to the chest, or restore after a fresh C:\ login.

In-app updates

Check GitHub Releases from the app. Download, restart, and keep backup/ + config.

Workflow

Three minutes.
Zero surprises.

Built for the rhythm of shared PCs: pack before the bell, unpack when you sit down again.
