Homewend

What Homewend does, and what’s next.

What is in the app today, and what we are building after it.

What’s inside.

Open source

Mac, Windows, Linux. The code goes public at launch. You sign in to Google in your own browser.

Plain folders, on your disk

Sorted by year and album, readable without Homewend. Nothing passes through our servers.

Downloads on its own

Every archive, one after another. It picks up where it stopped and checks your disk has room before it starts.

Checks that it's all there

Every file counted against the list Google puts in the export, and a gallery to see it with your own eyes. Your photos are never modified.

Coming up!

Upcoming

Free up your phone

Clear the camera roll and still see every photo on your phone. The originals stay at home: no server, just your own computer.

Upcoming

Phone sync

Never need Google Photos again. New photos go from your phone to your disk at home, Android first, then iPhone.

Upcoming

iCloud and other clouds

Later: iCloud, then OneDrive and Dropbox, all into the same library, sorted by year and month.

Upcoming

Scheduled exports

Every two months, Homewend brings down only what's new from Google.
