✅ Quick Summary

The only real free backup is your complete source code in a place you control, ideally with version history — which means GitHub, not a folder of screenshots. Push44 is a free, open-source tool that connects to Base44, Rocket.new, Floot, and Zite's own APIs to pull your actual files and push them to your own GitHub account.

The Problem

A lot of 'backup' advice for AI-built apps stops at 'take a screenshot' or 'copy-paste your prompts' — neither of which restores your actual working app if the platform goes down, changes its pricing, or your project gets deleted. A real backup means the actual source files, not a description of how to regenerate them.

How Push44 Solves It

The only real free backup is your complete source code in a place you control, ideally with version history — which means GitHub, not a folder of screenshots. Push44 is a free, open-source tool that connects to Base44, Rocket.new, Floot, and Zite's own APIs to pull your actual files and push them to your own GitHub account.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Rule out fake 'backups'

Prompt history, screenshots, and PDF exports of your UI are not backups — none of them let you restore or run your app again. Only the raw source files count.

2

Check what your platform gives you natively

Base44 and Rocket.new gate full ZIP/GitHub export behind paid tiers in their own UI. Floot and Zite have their own quirks too. This is the gap free tools like Push44 fill.

3

Connect your platform's API token

Each platform (Base44, Rocket.new, Floot, Zite) has a way to generate a personal API token or session credential in account settings — this is what a backup tool needs, and it's free on every plan.

4

Push to your own GitHub account

Add a free GitHub Personal Access Token in Push44, pick your project, and push. You now own a versioned copy independent of the platform's uptime or pricing changes.

5

Repeat on a schedule

A backup you take once isn't a backup strategy. Re-run the export after every meaningful session so your GitHub copy never falls far behind your live project.

Pro Tips

  • GitHub's free tier supports unlimited private repositories — there's no cost ceiling to worry about.
  • If you use more than one AI platform, Push44 supports all four (Base44, Rocket.new, Floot, Zite) from one tool instead of juggling different exporters.
  • A backup with git history is strictly better than a ZIP file — you can see exactly what changed between exports.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️ Watch Out For
  • Treating a single export as 'done forever' instead of an ongoing habit.
  • Relying on the platform's own paid export button when a free API-based route exists.
  • Backing up to a personal folder with no version history instead of GitHub.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there really a completely free option, or do they all have limits?
Push44 has no paid tier, no file limits, and no subscription. The only costs involved are optional — e.g., if you choose a paid Base44 plan for other reasons — but the export/backup path itself is free.
Which AI platforms does this work with?
Base44, Rocket.new, Floot, and Zite are all supported natively, each using that platform's own API or export mechanism.
What if the platform shuts down — will my backup still work?
Yes. Once your code is pushed to your own GitHub repository, it's a normal codebase you fully own — it no longer depends on the original platform staying online.
