Ten years of photos shouldn't live on one phone
Most people's photo library is a single phone and a cloud account they half understand. The app uploads photos and videos in the background, at original quality, to two other places.
What you have, and where it lives
Usually one copy, in one place. That's the part we fix.
| What | Where it usually is |
|---|---|
| Camera roll | Your phone |
| Videos of family events | Your phone, and relatives' phones |
| Photos you were sent | WhatsApp media on the phone |
| Older photos | An old phone in a drawer, or a laptop |
| Scans of old printed photos | Nowhere yet |
How it usually gets lost
- A phone is stolen on a train or in a crowd.
- A phone falls into water during a trip.
- A cloud account is locked after a missed recovery check, or simply runs out of space and stops backing up.
- Photos are deleted to free up space, and they were the only copies.
What we back up
You choose what goes up. Copy one stays on your phone or laptop; copies two and three go to two storage providers you choose, one of them on another continent (Mumbai or Hyderabad if your data must stay in India).
Background upload
New photos and videos upload on Wi-Fi, while charging, at original quality.
Two places, two continents
Copies with two providers you choose, one on another continent.
Version history
Undo deletes: get back a photo deleted by mistake.
WhatsApp media on Android

Good habits, with or without us
- Check that backup has caught up before you reset or sell a phone.
- Scan old prints from the family albums. Prints fade too.
- Video takes far more space than photos. You pay for what you store at your providers' rates.
- Print the recovery kit you get at setup and keep it with your other important papers. Your files are encrypted on your phone before upload and we can't reset your passphrase, so the kit is how you get back in.
How it works
- 1
Pick what matters
When the app launches, install it on your iPhone or Android phone and choose: photos, the folders you want, contacts, your mailbox. Nothing else leaves your phone.
- 2
It runs on its own
New photos and files are encrypted and copied in the background; email every few hours. Nobody has to remember.
- 3
Get it back
New phone, deleted file or lost laptop: restore everything, or bring back one document from version history.
What it costs
Prepaid, minimum ₹200 a month
You pay for the storage you use at the rates of the two providers you choose, with a ₹200 monthly minimum. Top up by UPI, card or net banking. No auto-debit, no card on file. Prices exclude 18% GST. How pricing works.
