UBak

UBak saves the original photos and videos from your iPhone straight to your own USB-C drive or SSD. No servers, no accounts, nothing leaves your hands. Why originals · Unmodified HEIC, JPEG and video files — no compression, no re-encoding · Live Photos are saved as a photo + video pair and come back as one Live Photo · Camera-style names (IMG_1234.HEIC) so the Photos app's Import recognizes them — restore or move to a new iPhone without any other software Picking photos feels like the Photos app · Swipe to select, drag across rows · Grouped by day; tick a whole day, or pick days and months from a calendar · Long-press to preview; select A, then F, then "Select to here" · Smooth even with tens of thousands of photos Backups you can trust · Every file is verified after writing; if it doesn't match, it doesn't count · Unplugged the drive, locked the phone, closed the app, drive full? Plug back in and it resumes — finished items are never copied twice · Drive full? Swap in another and continue · Dims the screen while backing up, without locking Your photos stay yours · Works fully offline. No account. Nothing is uploaded, ever · The only permission is photo access; you authorize the drive in the system file picker Requires an iPhone with USB-C (iPhone 15 or later), iOS 17 or later, and a standard exFAT USB-C drive or SSD (some SSDs need external power).
