Your originals are always safe. FULL QUALITY Preserves original HEIC, RAW, and video formats. Live Photos are backed up as photo + video pairs. Original capture dates are preserved. Optional date prefix for filenames. FLEXIBLE - Filter by type: all, photos only, videos only, or screenshots - Filter by date range - Organize files by date, album, or flat structure - Create multiple tasks for different backup strategies - Duplicate tasks with one swipe LIVE PROGRESS Track backup progress with Live Activities on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.
