- For
- Claude Code users working with app data and project files
- Worth noticing
- Backstep's coverage list explicitly marks sent Gmail as irreversible while listing files, databases, and Vercel deploys as undoable.
Field notes
The setup instructions describe a local installation followed by a check of the services Claude can access, with Supabase connection offered automatically. The coverage list distinguishes between supported actions and a hard limit: it says Vercel deploys can be reverted but sent Gmail cannot. The page also says backups and history remain on the user's computer and that install counts are anonymous, with counting optional.
