Where are you storing urphotos???
Who do you trust more than urself???
urVault backs up your photos, videos, and files automatically — to a server (storage computer) 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 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 private by design — 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.
Optional end-to-end encryption: your files are encrypted on your device with keys only you control. urVault can never read them — not even we can.
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.
By default nothing is ever deleted — every file you back up stays until you choose to remove it. 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 are stored only on hardware you own — never on Google, Apple, Amazon, or our servers. At home they go straight from your phone to your machine. Away from home they travel over a secure connection that carries your files but never keeps them. Turn on end-to-end encryption and no one but you can read them, anywhere along the way.
Works on Windows and Linux — including Raspberry Pi. No ongoing fees, no subscriptions. You own the server and the storage.
