Hello HN, Over the last year we've been building ente[1], a privacy-friendly, easy-to-use alternative to Google Photos.

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 Originally made it for someone close to me who had tens of thousands of photos but didn't want to deal with subscriptions or cloud storage.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.
