Hey everyone 👋
I’m Nykko, the maker of BackiGo.
BackiGo started as a simple iPhone app with one goal: make it easy to back up your photos to a USB drive.
After the first launch, your feedback pushed it further: a native Mac app, full iCloud Photos library backups, iCloud Drive backups, and support for Live Photos, NAS drives, cloud storage, and contacts.
Over the past 18 months, I’ve rebuilt BackiGo into a backup and restore app for Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Why build this when iCloud already exists?
Because syncing and keeping an independent backup solve different problems. With iCloud Photos, deleting a photo on one device also deletes it from your other synced devices. I wanted a separate copy I could keep, browse, and restore—even after removing the original.
Here’s what BackiGo offers today:
• Original-quality backups: Preserve photos, videos, RAW files, and Live Photos—including their motion and sound.
• Your choice of storage: Back up photos, videos, iCloud Drive files, and contacts to external drives, NAS devices, or supported cloud storage services.
• Browse, stream, and restore: Explore your backups, stream videos without downloading the entire file first, and restore photos and albums to Apple Photos.
• Complete iCloud protection: Back up your iCloud Photos library, iCloud Drive files, and contacts in one place.
• Automation and encryption: Schedule backups and choose optional AES-256 encryption.
Plans and pricing:
• Free: Back up up to 500 photos and videos, with no credit card required.
• Pro subscription: Choose a monthly or yearly plan if you prefer a lower upfront cost and ongoing updates across Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
• Lifetime Pro: Prefer to pay once? Get lifetime access to BackiGo on Mac, iPhone, and iPad for $14.99, with Apple Family Sharing included.
Your feedback directly shapes what I work on next. I’d love for you to try BackiGo and tell me what works—and what needs improving.
