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.

Your accounts can vanish.
