urVault backs up your photos, videos, and files automatically — to a server you own and control. No subscriptions. No third-party cloud. Nothing leaves your network without your permission.
How It Works
Install the server on your PC, scan a QR code from your phone, and your files start backing up automatically. That's it.
Run the installer on your Windows or Linux machine. The 3-step wizard handles everything — no networking knowledge needed.
Open the urVault app on your Android phone and scan the QR code shown in the server dashboard. Paired instantly.
urVault runs quietly in the background. Photos, videos, and documents back up automatically whenever you're connected.
Features
urVault is simple, reliable, and completely private — no configuration required to get started.
Every photo and video you take is backed up automatically to your server. No manual steps, no reminders — it just happens in the background.
PDFs, spreadsheets, downloads, and other documents are included automatically alongside your photos and videos.
Connect your phone to your server in seconds — just scan the QR code shown in the server dashboard. No IP addresses, no manual config.
Back up over Wi-Fi by default. Optionally enable backups over mobile data when you're away from home — your choice.
Every file backed up is kept forever. urVault never deletes your data — your archive grows alongside your life.
Connect as many phones and devices as you like to a single server. Each device gets its own backup space on your hardware.
Your files never touch a third-party server. No Google, no Apple, no Amazon. Your data goes from your phone directly to your own machine.
Works on Windows and Linux — including Raspberry Pi. No ongoing fees, no subscriptions. You own the server and the storage.
