Hi Product Hunt,
We built LynavoDrive around a simple frustration: shooting on a phone but working on a computer still means manually moving files or uploading everything to the cloud first.
LynavoDrive automatically backs up photos and videos to a folder on your own computer. The local workflow works over your LAN, keeps original files uncompressed, and includes pairing, sync history, and device controls.
We also opened the local core under AGPL-3.0 so anyone can inspect, build, and modify it.
We’d especially appreciate feedback on setup, transfer reliability, and what would make local-first storage feel easier than cloud-first.
A nice self-hosted option for keeping photos on your own hardware. One thing that would make this even better is adding automatic background sync that triggers whenever the phone joins your home WiFi, so you don't have to remember to open the app after every trip or event.
Backing up photos to my own computer sounds great, but I'd love to see automatic folder syncing between phone and PC, so new shots show up without me having to open the app each time.
