## What is Umbrel?

Your Umbrel, in your pocket.

The Umbrel app is the easiest way to use your home cloud from your iPhone. It finds your Umbrel on its own, signs you in securely, and puts your photos, apps, and files a tap away, at home or anywhere.

Back up your iPhone’s entire photo library to your Umbrel, automatically. New photos and videos upload quietly in the background in full resolution, even with the app closed. Live Photos stay live. Edits stay up to date. No subscription plans, and no tiers.

Everything you’ve installed on your Umbrel opens right inside the app and picks up where you left off. Chat with your AI agent, control your smart home, or check on your Bitcoin node, without switching apps. See which apps have updates, or browse hundreds more to install.

Private by design.
• Your photos go to your Umbrel, not to someone else’s server
• Every connection between your iPhone and your Umbrel is encrypted
• The app verifies your Umbrel’s identity every time it connects
• Works with two-factor authentication
• No ads, no tracking, and no analytics.

What you need
• An Umbrel Home, Umbrel Pro, or any device running umbrelOS 2.0 or later
• Optional: Tailscale on your iPhone and your Umbrel, for access away from home

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-11-12

Made for iPhone Duo
Umbrel now looks beautiful on iPhone Duo, whether it's folded, open or anywhere in between, with more design refinements to come. Inside umbrelOS, a few backgrounds behind windows and panels don't quite reach the edges yet. That's fixed in umbrelOS itself, with improvements arriving in umbrelOS 2.1, now in beta, and the 2.1 updates that follow.

Improvements and fixes
Smoother performance, a cleaner look throughout, and more reliable photo backup.

### 1.0 — 2026-11-09
