What is MemoryBackup?
After being frustrated backing up family photos using Mac OS Photos and iCloud I built an app experimenting with system level function calls and multithreading for fast backups of iPhone photos and videos directly to an external drive of my choosing.
Problem
Users struggle to back up iPhone photos and videos using Mac OS Photos and iCloud, which are slow, cumbersome, and require cloud storage dependency.
Solution
A desktop app enabling fast, direct iPhone photo and video backups to external drives via system-level function calls and multithreading, bypassing cloud storage entirely. Example: Users connect an iPhone and external drive to transfer media files in minutes.
Customers
Photographers, content creators, and parents with large media libraries who prioritize offline backups and control over storage destinations.
Unique Features
Uses system-level optimizations (function calls, multithreading) for speed, direct transfers to external drives without cloud intermediaries, and simplified workflow.
Traction
Launched on ProductHunt (exact metrics undisclosed). No explicit revenue, user count, or funding details available from provided sources.
Market Size
The global external storage market was valued at $25 billion in 2023 (Statista), reflecting demand for offline backup solutions.
