Backup your iPhone on Linux; no iTunes, macOS, or Windows VM needed.

Lightweight, beginner-friendly, and perfect for Linux users who want full control over their data.
If you've ever struggled to import photos from your iPhone, this is for you. Transferring photos and videos from an iPhone to a non-Apple device is always a headache. Missing folders, HEIC files that don't open properly, tons of duplicates, and way too many manual steps.
I built a small desktop app using Electron that makes the whole process much easier. It gives you a clean and friendly GUI on top of the usual command-line tools. You can import your photos and videos, clean up unwanted stuff, remove duplicates, and convert everything to more usable formats all in one place without the usual frustration.
Best part? It uses no network, no cloud storage, nothing. Just your iPhone, the USB cable, and your local disk. Everything stays on your machine.
Honestly, I made this just for myself because I was tired of dealing with the mess every time. if it helps you too, feel free to use it and tweak it however you want.
