I’m a longtime developer and photographer who built this after losing client photos years ago due to a “working” backup that silently failed.
Most photo backup tools I tried assumed: • always-on cloud • perfect networks • small files • trust in background magic
Real photography workflows don’t look like that.
FrameVault is a desktop-first backup system designed for large RAW files, interruptions, external drives, and long-running uploads. It runs locally, tracks what’s actually been uploaded, resumes cleanly after failures, and doesn’t pretend everything is fine when it isn’t.
Some deliberate choices: • Desktop app, not web-only • Explicit upload queues instead of “sync magic” • Handles interruptions and restarts safely • Designed for multi-TB photo libraries • No AI, no social layer, no growth hacks
It’s intentionally boring software.
This is the first public Windows release; macOS is coming next. I’m mainly looking for feedback from people who’ve had to think seriously about backups, reliability, or large-file workflows.
