PicHaven Brings Photo Backup Home

Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

PicHaven backs up photos and videos from an Android phone to a Windows PC over the home network, without cloud storage, accounts, or subscriptions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

PicHaven pairs an Android phone and Windows PC through a QR code, then watches selected phone folders and transfers new media across the home network. Files land in ordinary year-and-month directories rather than a proprietary vault, and the page says each transfer is encrypted and checksum-verified. The current beta is described as unrestricted, while the planned pricing distinguishes a 500-file free tier from an unlimited one-time purchase. macOS support is listed as planned rather than available.
