Back up your iPhone photos and videos to a cloud you actually own. SnapVault is a simple, focused auto-backup app for people who would rather pay their storage provider directly than rent space from a tech giant. Point it at any S3 - compatible bucket like: AWS, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, or your own MinIO server; and SnapVault keeps your camera roll synced to a destination you control. No middleman. No subscription creep. No vendor lock-in. Just your assets, in your bucket. WHY YOUR OWN BUCKET? - Pay object-storage rates instead of consumer photo-cloud rates - Files stay in standard formats you can read with any S3 client - Switch providers anytime, your data isn't trapped - Predictable costs that don't climb every year - You hold the keys, literally WORKS WITH ANY S3-COMPATIBLE STORAGE - Amazon S3 - Backblaze B2 - Cloudflare R2 - Wasabi - MinIO (self-hosted) - Any other S3-compatible endpoint BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY - One-tap power button — start or stop syncing in a single press - Live progress — see queued, in-flight, and synced counts in real time - Multi-bucket support — add unlimited destinations and switch between them from the home screen - Wi-Fi-only mode — never burn through your cellular plan - Include or skip videos with a single toggle - Tunable parallel uploads — match your connection speed - Clean, focused interface designed around photos and videos, not file management PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your bucket credentials live in your device's storage.
