Sia Storage is the world's safest cloud storage, by design. Your files are encrypted on your device before they ever leave your phone, split into 30 pieces using erasure coding, and distributed across a decentralized network of hosts worldwide. Only 10 of those 30 pieces are needed to recover your data — no single point of failure, no central server to breach. YOUR DATA, YOUR KEYS Sia Storage uses end-to-end encryption. Your recovery phrase is the only key to your data — not even Sia can access your files. No tracking, no ads, no data harvesting. STORE AND ORGANIZE Upload photos, videos, and documents. Organize files into folders, tag them for quick access, and mark favorites. Browse your library with search and filtering by file type. AUTOMATIC PHOTO BACKUP Enable archive sync to automatically back up your photo library to the Sia network. Track progress as your photos are encrypted and uploaded in the background. MULTI-DEVICE SYNC Access your files from any device. Sia Storage syncs your encrypted library across devices through your indexer — add a file on your phone, see it on your desktop. FILE VERSIONING Upload updated versions of files and browse their history. Sia Storage keeps track of versions so you never lose previous work. HOW IT WORKS Traditional cloud storage trusts a single company with your data. Sia splits your encrypted files across dozens of independent hosts using erasure coding. Even if hosts go offline, your data remains available and intact. Learn more in the app's built-in guides. IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE Take a photo or video directly in the app, choose from your photo library, or import from the Files app. Share files from any app on your phone directly into Sia Storage. OPEN SOURCE Sia Storage is built by The Sia Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to decentralized storage. The app is fully open source.
Back To It.

Back to It is a tiny app for when you suddenly think: “Wait… what was I doing?” It happens all the time. You walk into a room and forget why. You’re halfway through something and it just… disappears. You get interrupted, and everything resets. “I knew this a second ago.” Back to It gives you a simple place to hold onto that thought before it’s gone. How it works You get three slots. That’s it. Type just enough to remember: Dishes. Boil water then pasta. Email Sam. When you come back, you don’t have to think. You just continue. Why it exists I built this because I kept losing my place. Not in big, dramatic ways— in normal, everyday moments. Cooking dinner. Helping my kids. Working on something complex. Getting pulled in five directions at once. I tried reminders, timers, notes. They either got ignored, buried, or became another thing to manage. What I needed was something lighter. Something for right now. What it’s for * When a thought might disappear * When you get interrupted * When you’re juggling a few things at once * When your brain just… drops it What it’s not * Not a task manager * Not a planner * Not a productivity system No lists. No inbox. No history. Just three things you’re doing right now. A different way to remember Instead of holding everything in your head, you put it somewhere visible. Instead of tracking everything, you keep only what matters. Instead of trying to stay organized, you just don’t lose it. Back to It is for when thoughts evaporate. And you want them back.
