Every family photo, safe and in order.

Lymvio Photo keeps an encrypted copy of your Apple Photos library in storage you choose, and helps you clear out what you don't need. Only your family holds the key.

The Lymvio Photo icon: three overlapping circles

A safe copy, kept by you

Locked before it leaves

Every photo is encrypted on your Mac. The key is 24 words that stay with your family, on paper or in your Keychain. Nobody else can open your photos, not us and not your storage provider.

In storage you choose

Backblaze, Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, Hetzner or any other compatible storage. You pay your provider directly, often a few euros a month for a whole family library.

Get it all back

One photo you deleted, a whole year or everything, back into Photos or into a folder. A monthly restore drill opens a few photos to check that your backup really works.

Tidy up

Find the same picture saved twice, shots of nothing and the best photo of each moment. You decide what goes, and what you remove stays in the backup for as long as you choose.

Years and places

Browse everything you have saved by year and on a map, including what has already left Photos, and search by place, title, caption or keyword.

Quietly in the background

New photos are saved every hour while your Mac is awake, paused on low battery. A symbol in the menu bar shows that everything is safe, and the app keeps itself up to date.

Made for families

Lymvio Photo knows the iCloud Shared Library. One Mac saves it for everyone, and each person's own photos stay private.

Each family Mac saves its own library. Everything goes into one backup.

The family keyOpens the Shared Library for everyone in the family.
Your own keyOpens only your personal library. Not even the family key can open it.

No account. No tracking.

Your photos go from your Mac straight to your storage, encrypted. Lymvio never sees them, and the app sends us nothing about you or your library.
