Fotoback vs ImageIntact

Fotoback is an iPhone photo backup service for parents that organizes camera-roll photos around a child's age and milestones. It can sync new photos in the background while the app is closed or the phone is locked, then sort images by age and identify milestones such as first smiles, crawling, and first steps. Its wardrobe feature builds a clothing inventory from outfits in photos, offers wear insights and alerts for outgrown or unworn items, and supports separate profiles for the user, their partner, and each child. The maker says Fotoback for Mac can back up an iPhone's messages, app data, settings, and photos to a Fotoback account without using iCloud storage. The App Store listing identifies iPhone and iPad support and says the app is not verified for macOS. Plans include free 5 GB encrypted backup for one child profile, monthly choices from $1.99 a month for 100 GB, and one-time options at 24.99 USD or 199.00 USD. The maker says photos are not used to train AI, accessed only to store and return them, or shared with third parties. The privacy policy describes TLS 1.2+ in transit, AES-256 at rest, and storage regions in Ireland or configurable US.

ImageIntact is a free macOS photo-backup app for photographers. It copies RAW, JPEG, TIFF, DNG, and other image formats to up to four drives simultaneously, with filters for RAW-only, JPEG-only, or all-image backups. Every file copy is checked with a SHA-256 checksum, and suspicious files are quarantined rather than deleted. The app is designed to fit Lightroom, Capture One, and existing folder structures. For NAS and other network volumes, the project describes enhanced data integrity and timeout protection. ImageIntact has no telemetry or cloud requirements, and logs shared for support can be anonymized. Help is available in the app, through GitHub issue reports, or in GitHub Discussions. It requires macOS 14.0 or later and supports Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. The MIT-licensed app is downloaded from GitHub Releases by installing its DMG in Applications. The Free plan costs nothing, is billed Free and always will be, and supports up to four backup destinations.
