## Description

Now with restore. Back up iPhone photos directly to your Synology, QNAP, Nextcloud, S3, or external drive. Your storage, your rules. Optional end-to-end encryption.

PhotoBridge backs up your iPhone photos directly to storage you own — Synology, QNAP, Nextcloud, AWS S3, MinIO, Aliyun OSS, or an external drive. No third-party cloud. No subscription to a stranger's photo silo.

Built for the moment your iCloud bill stops making sense, or you simply want your photos on a drive you can hold.

— WHAT MAKES PHOTOBRIDGE DIFFERENT —

• YOUR STORAGE, DIRECTLY
Photos travel from your iPhone straight to your destination. They never pass through our servers. We literally cannot see them — there's no infrastructure on our side to see anything with.

• MULTIPLE DESTINATIONS, ONE APP
WebDAV (Synology, QNAP, Nextcloud, Owncloud), S3 (AWS, MinIO, Aliyun OSS, any S3-compatible bucket), or external drives via the Files app. Set up multiple destinations and back up to all of them.

• OPTIONAL END-TO-END ENCRYPTION
E2EE encrypts each file before it leaves the iPhone. Even your NAS administrator can't read the archive without your recovery key. You hold the key. We don't.

• BACKGROUND AUTO-UPLOAD (Pro)
Uploads continue when you switch apps or lock the phone. Smart retry with exponential backoff recovers from flaky Wi-Fi. Resume capability picks up where a failed upload stopped.

• AUTOMATION RULES (Pro)
Trigger uploads on Wi-Fi connect, on charging, on app launch, or on schedule (daily, weekly, custom). Set it once, never think about it again.

• SMART CLEANUP (Pro)
After dual-checksum-verified backup, optionally free phone storage by deleting the local copy. 24-hour cooldown, auto-skip favorites, full undo history — designed paranoid because losing photos is unacceptable.

• TWO-WAY: BROWSE & RESTORE (NEW IN 1.1)
This isn't just a backup app. Browse what's on your NAS, restore single photos or whole folders back to Camera Roll, delete remote files, and compare local vs. remote sync state — all without leaving the app. Automatic decryption when restoring E2EE backups.

• PRIVACY BY DEFAULT
Zero tracking, zero ads, zero analytics SDKs. Credentials live in iOS Keychain, never on our servers (we don't have servers).

— WHO IS PHOTOBRIDGE FOR? —

• People paying more for iCloud each year and wondering why
• Synology, QNAP, and Unraid owners with an unused photos folder waiting to fill
• Self-hosters running Nextcloud, Immich, or PhotoPrism who need an iOS uploader that doesn't suck
• Photographers who want full-resolution originals on a drive they own
• Anyone moving away from Google Photos or iCloud for privacy reasons

— PRICING —

Free forever: full manual backup and restore to all destination types. Pro unlocks background auto-upload, scheduling, automation, and smart cleanup. Monthly $0.99 / Annual $6.99 / Lifetime $19.99. 7-day free Pro trial on first install.
