Cold Storage — accounts connected, each backing up on its own schedule
Cold Storage overview — what's backed up, how fresh it is, and where it lives
Built to be left alone

Set it once. It runs on its own.

✓

No servers

Everything happens on your Mac, from your own session. Nothing is ever uploaded.

✓

Your keys

Media is encrypted at rest with AES-256, under a key wrapped by your passphrase — never the passphrase itself.

✓

Never drops an export

Every download is queued to disk before the backup starts, so a crash or power cut just finishes on the next launch.

✓

Catches up after a reboot

Starts at login, and schedules are wall-clock based — a laptop asleep for a week is due the moment it wakes.

Platforms

Eleven platforms, one archive.

Seven run completely hands-off. The rest you drop in yourself — anything matching an export that lands in your Downloads is picked up automatically.
