HammyBackup

HammyBackup is an iOS app for backing up photos and videos from your iPhone to storage you choose: your own NAS, an SMB share, or Google Drive. It helps you review verified backups before you decide whether to clean up local copies.

When you choose Google Drive, HammyBackup requests the drive.file permission only to create, upload, verify, and manage the photo and video backup files used with the app. It cannot read unrelated files in your Google Drive.

One app, your storage

From your iPhone to a destination you control.

HammyBackup coordinates the transfer. Your media does not pass through a HammyBackup-owned cloud.

Built around ownership

A backup path you can actually see and control.

HammyBackup moves your originals directly from your iPhone to the destination you select. It does not require a separate HammyBackup account or storage subscription.

Your destination

NAS and SMB at home

Connect to a compatible NAS or SMB share on your local network and keep your library on hardware you manage.

Your Google account

Narrow Google Drive access

HammyBackup requests the drive.file scope, limiting access to files the app creates or that you explicitly make available to it.

Verification before cleanup

Designed to fail safely.

Cleanup is separated from backup. HammyBackup verifies the destination copy before presenting local photos as eligible for removal, and you remain in control of every deletion.

Three clear steps

Choose. Back up. Verify.

1

Choose storage

Select your NAS/SMB destination or connect Google Drive.

2

Back up originals

HammyBackup copies the accessible photos and videos you select.

3

Verify and clean

Review verified results before choosing whether to remove local copies.

Privacy by architecture

No developer cloud in the middle.

The app stores settings on your device and sends media only to the backup destination you choose. The public website uses no analytics, advertising trackers, cookies, or forms.
