urVault

urVault is a private backup app for people who want complete ownership and control of their personal data. Instead of sending your photos and videos to a third-party cloud, urVault backs them up to a server you own — a home PC, a laptop, or a Raspberry Pi — so your data stays under your control at all times.

NO SERVER? TRY THE DEMO FIRST
Tap "Just exploring? Try a quick demo" on the welcome screen and urVault connects to our public demo server, so you can see a real backup in seconds — no server, no account, nothing to install. Demo backups are temporary and automatically deleted.

HOW IT WORKS
The free urVault server software runs on your own Windows or Linux machine. Install it, open its dashboard, and pair your iPhone by scanning a QR code. No cloud account, no port forwarding, no router configuration.

WHAT IT BACKS UP
• Your photos and videos, automatically
• Back up everything, or pick specific albums
• Incremental sync uploads only what is new or changed, so backups stay fast and small
• Browse your backup history and restore files whenever you want

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Your files live on your server, not on a shared platform. We never see, store, or access your data — that is the entire point of the product. Nothing is routed through third-party services unless you explicitly choose it.

PRICING
Free to try for 14 days. After that, one single purchase unlocks urVault for good. No subscription. No vendor lock-in. No ads. No account to create.

A NOTE ON BACKGROUND BACKUPS
iPhone runs background tasks opportunistically — the system decides when, typically while charging on Wi-Fi. You can always start a backup yourself at any time from the main screen.

urVault is for individuals and families who want simple, reliable, automatic backups — without subscriptions, vendor lock-in, or surrendering control of their data.
