Part of the Budgie Backup suite. One installer covers all six apps.

Budgie Backup is unfinished alpha software, this alpha version may have bugs that unintentionally delete your data. this software may delete every build has a built-in expiry date to ensure you update to get more recent versions. Never rely on this alpha version to backup your data and always test that backups are accessible.

System Tray App

The tray icon is the front door to everything else. It sits beside the clock, and it's always there.

Right-click it to open the documentation, read every log the suite has written, and reach the tools. From there you can back up selected photos from your iPhone, update the whole Budgie Backup suite, manage your backup schedules, and more.

Phone Sync

You can use the iPhone Sync tool from the SysTray application to sync a small number of files. If you want to transfer more thna few hundred filkes I'd reccomend using the PhotoSync (Mobile) app.

Select Photos from your Phone
