Foldic backs up your iPhone photo albums to a USB drive plugged straight into your phone — no iCloud subscription, no computer, no cloud. REAL FILES, REAL FOLDERS Every album becomes a plain folder of original photos and videos on your drive. No proprietary library — files you can browse anywhere and keep forever. MADE FOR USB-C DRIVES Plug a USB-C drive or SSD into your iPhone, pick a folder, tap Sync All. That's the whole setup. INCREMENTAL AND RESUMABLE Foldic skips what's already on the drive, so after the first backup every sync takes moments. Unplug anytime — the next sync picks up exactly where it stopped. YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY Back up albums individually, or mirror All Photos organized into year/month folders. Live Photos export both the still and the paired video, and capture dates are preserved. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Runs entirely on your iPhone, sandboxed. No account, no analytics — your photos go from your phone to your drive, nowhere else. GOOD TO KNOW • Works with drives readable in the Files app (exFAT, FAT32, APFS) • iPhone with USB-C connects directly; Lightning iPhones need a powered adapter • If photos leave an album, their exported copies are flagged, and nothing is deleted unless you turn on automatic cleanup • Also available on Mac: one purchase covers both (Mac version adds Flickr backup) FOLDIC PRO Foldic is free to download, with every feature unlocked for 7 days. After that, browsing your albums and backup status stays free; running a backup, auto-sync and deep compare need Foldic Pro: a monthly subscription (US$2.99), a yearly subscription (US$29.99), or a one-time Lifetime purchase (US$39.99). Prices may vary by region. One purchase covers Mac and iPhone. If you bought Foldic before it became free, everything stays unlocked forever at no extra cost. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your App Store account settings.
