Off My Phone Makes the Backup Count
A planned one-button tool for copying an iPhone’s photos and videos to a folder on a Mac or Windows computer.
Field notes
The proposed workflow starts with a USB connection and a one-time Trust prompt, then places media in dated folders on a local drive, external disk, or mounted NAS share. Its verification model compares every copied file against a manifest and reports the final count, while incremental runs copy only new items and interrupted transfers resume from the stopping point. The page says HEIC, RAW, videos, and Live Photos retain their original structure; availability is described as forthcoming for Mac and Windows.
