    Albums Backup▲7

    Hey HN, I built a tiny offline tool to help back up iPhone/iPad photos and videos to PC or Mac via USB. No iCloud, no accounts, no cloud storage — just straight device-to-device transfer. Originally made it for someone close to me who had tens of thousands of photos but didn't want to deal with subscriptions or cloud storage. Thought it might be useful for others too, so putting it out there. It keeps Live Photos, 4K videos, RAW files, and transfers quickly without compression. Works on both Windows and macOS.

    I created an app to transfer files from my PC to any device wirelessly▲6

    I found transferring images from my PC to my phone very tedious. Using Whatsapp and other such apps reduced image quality and had limitations on the file size. Using online file transfer solutions were too slow for my taste. Hence, I created a desktop app to send all sorts of files - images, PDFs, lengthy videos, etc. to any device connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You also don't need to download a separate mobile app. There's only 3 steps involved - select your files, scan a QR code, download your files. You can download it now for free via https://fyldrop.com
