Keep your account and saved work in order
Your account identifies your cloud resources, and your Vault unlocks encrypted saved work. Project folders and running processes stay on their device. Follow these guides to recover access, continue on another computer and manage retained content.
Recover the right part of the account
Email verification, password recovery and two-factor checks are account flows. Vault unlock and recovery protect a separate encryption boundary, which also covers your Passwords & secrets list. Preserve existing keys and recoverable profile files when something will not open; resetting the login password is not a substitute for a lost encryption key.
Continue work on another device
Sign in, unlock the Vault, let supported workspace records sync and bind the project to the correct local checkout. New messages arrive in real time, while unsent drafts stay on the computer where you typed them. Sync does not copy the entire Git folder or transfer a live provider process.
Keep your work accessible
Vortex is free to use. Keep account recovery, coding-provider usage and technical cloud storage separate. Retention protects active work and does not delete project folders or connection credentials for storage quota.
Follow the detailed guides
- Sign in and recover your account
Your Vortex account owns your cloud resources. It is separate from the coding-agent account you connect to build an app.
- Unlock your saved work
Unlock the Vault to use protected saved resources and encrypted workspace sync. Its password and recovery material are separate from the ordinary login session.
- Keep passwords and secure notes
Passwords & secrets is a private, Vault-encrypted list for your own logins and notes, synchronized between your computers and visible only to your Vortex account.
- Continue on another computer
Continue synchronized history with a local checkout and provider account on each computer, without overwriting another device’s choices.
- Continue desktop conversations from your phone
Pair Vortex Mobile by QR code, answer desktop agents from your phone and remove a device’s access when needed.
- Find or recover a conversation
Find a saved conversation across workspaces or preview and restore available local backup and provider history.
- Move and download chats
Use All chats to find conversations across workspaces, move a chat to another workspace or project with its history and files, archive it, or download a ZIP copy.
- Understand what is kept
Your app’s files, Vortex conversation history and captured cloud content have different lifetimes. Choose the operation that matches what you want to remove.
- Using Vortex and understanding its limits
Use every Vortex feature with unlimited workspaces, projects, saved chats and connections. Understand the separate boundaries of cloud storage and your coding-agent account.
- Account access and troubleshooting
Find the right next step for sign-in, Vault unlock, project folders, provider usage and saved-resource access without deleting your work.
- Settings and keyboard shortcuts
Find AI providers, Voice, Browser, Remote, Computer use, permissions, personal skills, notifications and keyboard shortcuts.
- Install and update Vortex
Install Vortex on macOS with Apple silicon or Intel, Windows, or Linux x64. Choose an available Universal DMG, Windows installer, AppImage or deb, and keep your saved work when updating.
