About

Back up camera cards right on your iPhone and iPad: to SSD and NAS, every file verified and documented. No laptop, no subscription, no cloud. Offloadr was built by a working focus puller for real shoot days. It only confirms a backup once every single file has been read back from every destination and matched by checksum. SAFE MEANS SAFE • Every file is copied, read back and verified with xxHash or SHA-256 • The drive must flush its write cache before verification, so data is read from the disk itself • A clear result: green when everything checks out, red with the error count and a full log • Two destinations in one pass, e.g. SSD and NAS, each verified on its own NOTHING GETS OVERWRITTEN • Before it starts, Offloadr checks the destination and asks before replacing existing files • Warns if a card was already backed up or its last offload was incomplete • Warns if Destination A and Destination B are on the same drive • Clear error messages, e.g. for a full drive, the FAT32 file size limit or a loose cable DOCUMENTATION FOR PRODUCTION AND POST • ASC MHL v2 with chain file, readable by common DIT and post software • PDF report with thumbnails, metadata CSV and log • Sidecar files neatly organized in an _Offloadr folder PROJECTS: SET UP ONCE, USE ALL SHOOT • Destinations, options and shooting day are saved • The shooting day counts up automatically • Folder structure: project / day / card • Choose the folder name at the destination; cards with the same label, like “Untitled”, count up (A001, A002 …) • History by project, combined PDF with one tap SPEED • Over 1 GB/s with NVMe SSDs via USB-C, more with Thunderbolt on iPad Pro. Your hardware sets the limit. • Live speed graph • Keeps running in the background when you switch apps; iOS shows the progress CARDS AND FORMATS • Anything your iPhone or iPad can read: SD, CFexpress, USB-C card readers, your Photos library • NAS via SMB: Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, Windows shares • Video (MOV, MP4, MXF), RAW video (R3D, ARRIRAW, Blackmagic RAW), photos (DNG, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, RW2, HEIC, JPEG and more) PRIVATE No account, no tracking, no cloud.
