SnapVault: Space Cloud
Photo & Video Backup to S3
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Tired of paying monthly to access your own photos and videos? SnapVault backs-up straight to your own S3 bucket. AWS, Backblaze B2, R2, Wasabi, your cloud, your rules…
Back up your iPhone photos and videos to a cloud you actually own.
SnapVault is a simple, focused auto-backup app for people who would rather pay their storage provider directly than rent space from a tech giant. Point it at any S3 - compatible bucket like: AWS, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, or your own MinIO server; and SnapVault keeps your camera roll synced to a destination you control.
No middleman. No subscription creep. No vendor lock-in. Just your assets, in your bucket.
WHY YOUR OWN BUCKET?
- Pay object-storage rates instead of consumer photo-cloud rates
- Files stay in standard formats you can read with any S3 client
- Switch providers anytime, your data isn't trapped
- Predictable costs that don't climb every year
- You hold the keys, literally
WORKS WITH ANY S3-COMPATIBLE STORAGE
- Amazon S3
- Backblaze B2
- Cloudflare R2
- Wasabi
- MinIO (self-hosted)
- Any other S3-compatible endpoint
BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY
- One-tap power button — start or stop syncing in a single press
- Live progress — see queued, in-flight, and synced counts in real time
- Multi-bucket support — add unlimited destinations and switch between them from the home screen
- Wi-Fi-only mode — never burn through your cellular plan
- Include or skip videos with a single toggle
- Tunable parallel uploads — match your connection speed
- Clean, focused interface designed around photos and videos, not file management
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your bucket credentials live in your device's storage. Uploads go directly from your phone to the bucket you specified. Never through a SnapVault server. Your media bytes don't touch our infrastructure, because there isn't any to touch.
GET STARTED IN UNDER A MINUTE
1. Create (or reuse) a bucket with any S3-compatible provider
2. Generate an access key
3. Paste the credentials into SnapVault
4. Tap the power button
Your camera roll starts syncing immediately.
WHO IT IS FOR
- People paying $10–$30/month for photo cloud and watching the bill climb every year
- Privacy-conscious users who want their photos under their own keys
- Self-hosters running MinIO at home or in a home-lab
- Anyone who already pays for object storage and wants their phone library to live there too
Stop renting your memories. Start owning them.
