Back up your photos
to your own NAS

Back up the original photos and videos on your iPhone or Android phone over SMB, WebDAV or SFTP, or to a USB drive. Anything already backed up is skipped, and your photos travel only between your phone and your server.

Organized by date on your NAS — browse it without the app

Back up, compare and restore in one app

No account to create, and no cloud service in between.

Original files, incremental

Backs up the original HEIC, JPG, RAW and video files. Files already on your NAS are matched by name and size and skipped, so you can run it again anytime.

SMB, WebDAV, SFTP and USB

Works with Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, Nextcloud and Linux servers. Servers on your network are listed automatically — tap one to set it up. No NAS? Back up to a USB flash drive or external disk.

A clear folder layout

Stored as year/month/day with the capture time in each file name. Backed-up photos are still recognized after switching protocols or phones, and iPhones and Android phones can share the same folder.

Live Photos kept whole

Both the photo and the video of a Live Photo are backed up, and it’s still a Live Photo when saved back to your phone.

See your phone and NAS side by side

Every photo shows whether it’s backed up. Find photos you’ve deleted from your phone, and browse and play photos and videos right from your NAS.

Save back what you need

Select photos on your NAS and save them to your phone. Free space is checked first, and photos can go back to their original albums.

Free up space

Delete photos taken months ago that are fully backed up to your NAS. Favorites are kept by default.

Albums and multiple servers

Back up only selected albums or exclude some, and record which albums each photo was in. Save several servers and switch between them.

Made for iPhone and iPad

A timeline scrubber and Go to Date take you to any day in seconds. On iPad in landscape, browse in two columns.
