Full photo library
Photos, video, Live Photos, RAW, slow‑mo, burst - all formats in original quality. Incremental sync copies only what’s new.
LocalCloud syncs iPhone and iPad with your Mac without iCloud, without an Apple subscription, and without someone else’s servers hosting your personal library.
Not just photo sync. LocalCloud copies everything - from contacts to encrypted backup - where you are in control.
Photos, video, Live Photos, RAW, slow‑mo, burst - all formats in original quality. Incremental sync copies only what’s new.
iTunes‑compatible MobileBackup2 - AES‑256 encryption, full device data including SMS, WhatsApp, Wi‑Fi profiles. Partial restore by category.
At home - direct Wi‑Fi. On the road - encrypted relay through our server. Your Mac receives data in real time without open ports or VPN.
Plug in your iPhone - sync starts automatically after a few seconds. ~128 GB in minutes instead of 40+ over Wi‑Fi.
A LocalCloud folder appears in the Finder sidebar. Spotlight finds photos by date and location. Quick Look for HEIC without conversion.
3‑2‑1 strategy: on your Mac + SFTP to your server + Google Drive / Yandex / Backblaze. All work in parallel.
Hourly snapshots of Documents, Desktop, Pictures - Time Machine‑style with SFTP and cloud targets. Hard‑link dedup saves space.
TLS 1.3 everywhere. Relay does not read or store your payload - it only forwards bytes. Backups are encrypted before any destination.
Notifications after each sync. Remote /sync and /backup. Pay with Telegram Stars outside the App Store. Support in the bot.
Connect any storage or several at once. LocalCloud encrypts data before it leaves your Mac for external targets.
No twenty‑screen wizard. First sync starts within a minute of install.
Download LocalCloud from the App Store on iPhone and iPad; the Mac agent from our site. Devices find each other via Bonjour on your Wi‑Fi - no IP typing.
A 6‑digit code appears on Mac - enter it on iPhone. Done, paired with TLS. Reconnects are automatic without a code.
Enable categories: photos, contacts, health, files. Set a schedule. LocalCloud runs on its own - at night when the phone is charging on Wi‑Fi.
LocalCloud detects your region and can use the Russian stack at localclouded.ru when that stack is live. No VPN games - routing follows product policy and applicable law.
During beta, Pro‑class features stay open. Before billing we’ll announce via Telegram Bot with a 30‑day grace period.

On roadmapStraight answers without marketing fluff.
No. Your Mac is the primary store. Relay only forwards encrypted traffic and cannot read payload contents. If relay disappeared tomorrow, your data remains on your Mac.
Yes - that’s the main path. At home LocalCloud uses direct Wi‑Fi via Bonjour; the internet is not required. Relay is only when phone and Mac are on different networks.
iMazing focuses on backup over USB/Wi‑Fi locally. LocalCloud adds encrypted relay, remote destinations, Mac Backup, Telegram Bot, and a Russia‑aware routing story - at a lower planned price.
As soon as review clears. This site and the Telegram bot will announce first.
Product routing follows our geo policy; a dedicated RU stack is on the roadmap. Follow status and release notes for what is live today.
We’ll announce early via Telegram Bot with a 30‑day grace period. Free tier stays for basic Wi‑Fi sync without relay.
Yes - category‑level restore from iTunes‑compatible backups is a core direction, without wiping the whole phone.
