[[Polly|https://github.com/Marxsal/polly]] is a batch file system using Windows //~PowerShell// to restore ~TiddlyWiki files from a specified download directory to their original home directory.

Effectively, this becomes a new way to save your files, but with these features:

* No binary executables
* Human-readable batch script.
* No special plugins in your ~TiddlyWiki file
* No special browser required
* No browser extension required.
* No need for node.exe running in background
* Total size expanded package only 100k
* Backups as regular file and/or zip to specified directories
* The ability to "parrot" extra copies to target directories (e.g. a Dropbox folder)

It should be able to run anywhere that //~PowerShell// runs, including Windows, Linux, and Mac.
