No middleman cloud, no account, no server of ours in between — your files travel straight from your phone to the destination you choose.

WHERE YOUR BACKUP CAN GO
• USB or OTG drive plugged into your phone
• A folder on this device or an SD card
• Your NAS or home server over SMB (Samba/Windows share)
• Any SSH server over SFTP
• WebDAV servers (Nextcloud, ownCloud, Synology, Apache)
• Your own Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive

BUILT FOR REAL BACKUPS
• Resume picks up exactly where an interrupted backup stopped
• New-only mode copies just what changed since last time
• Full rescan verifies your entire library against the destination
• A backup manifest is written next to your files, so you can restore even without this app
• Interrupted uploads never overwrite a good file — every network upload is atomic
• Large cloud uploads are chunked and resumable

PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE
• No SimplyBackup account. No SimplyBackup server. We never see your photos.
• Server passwords and cloud tokens are stored only in your device's encrypted keystore
• SSH host keys are verified and pinned — you approve a server once, changes are blocked
• Everything is checksummed so what arrives is exactly what left your phone

CLEAR PLANS
• Free: back up to USB and local folders with rewarded backup time
• Pro and Super Pro subscriptions or a one-time Max Lifetime purchase unlock network and cloud destinations, unlimited backup time, and remove ads
