What’s New Version 1.0.5
Minor bugfixes and stability improvements.
Description
CardBackup copies photos and videos from your camera's memory card to your iPhone - reliably, quickly, and without duplicates.
CardBackup copies files to a folder of your choosing. It does not import into your Photos library - it's designed for photographers who want their original files intact and organised, ready for Lightroom, Capture One, PhotoCuller, or whichever app you process in.
Connect a card reader or camera, choose a source and destination folder, and tap Back Up. CardBackup handles the rest: skipping files you've already copied, verifying each file as it goes, and keeping a log of your last 30 backup runs.
Perfect for photographers who want a safety net while travelling. Back up to a local folder, an external drive, or iCloud Drive — and if you choose iCloud, your shots sync automatically overnight so they're waiting on your Mac when you get home.
Works on iPhone, iPad, and natively on Mac. One purchase covers all three.
No subscriptions. No ads. No cloud service required. Everything stays on your device.
Features:
- Incremental backups: skips files already copied, no duplicates
- Hash verification: detects corruption on every copied file
- Conflict handling: safely renames files when names clash
- Backup history with run times and file statistics
- iCloud Drive support
- Local notifications on completion

Build 886163881v1.0.32026-05-26 21:49:26
Backup history now shows how long each run took. Conflict warnings now only appear when conflicts actually occurred, so no more orange warnings on clean runs. After a few successful backups, CardBackup may also ask you to leave a rating; your reviews help other photographers find the app.
