Closed the Bolt tab and now I can't find my project anywhere

Worked all evening on a recipe app in Bolt. Closed the browser. Today I open bolt.new and it's a fresh empty screen. Is it gone? I wasn't logged in at first I think, then I logged in halfway.

What I’ve tried

Checked browser history and opened the old URL, it loads an empty project. Looked in my StackBlitz account.

Projects are saved to the account you were logged in with at the time. Look in the sidebar / project list on bolt.new (and at stackblitz.com if you had that account before). The chat URLs in your browser history are the best lead: open them while logged in with the same account.

If the first half was done logged out, that part may only have lived in the browser. Going forward: connect GitHub or download a ZIP at the end of each session.

Same thing happened to a friend, it was under a different Google account because she had two logged in. Worth checking if you have multiple.

Paranoid tip: download the ZIP at the end of every session. It's saved me more than once.
