Private backup service

Your computer, quietly backed up.

Encrypted snapshots of the files that matter — without another dashboard to manage.

The Desktopchik desktop app

Built for the way you actually work.

Most backup tools ask you to become an administrator. Desktopchik asks for a folder or two, then stays out of the way.

Continuous snapshots

Set it once. Desktopchik keeps versions in the background.

Encrypted before upload

Your files are sealed on your computer, not on our servers.

Restore in minutes

Bring back a single file or a whole folder from any snapshot.

Three steps, then it is out of your way.

Setup takes a few minutes. After that, Desktopchik works quietly in the background while you keep working.

  1. Install the desktop agent.

    A small app for Windows or macOS. Sign in, and it runs from the menu bar or system tray.

  2. Choose the folders you care about.

    Pick folders and a schedule. Everything you do not select stays untouched on your machine.

  3. Restore when you need to — from any device.

    Open the app on another computer, pick a snapshot, and pull the files back where you want them.

Your files stay yours.

Encryption happens on your computer. What leaves is a sealed archive that we store and hand back — nothing else.

Client-side encryption

Files are encrypted before they leave your computer.

Version history

Every snapshot is kept, so one bad edit is not a disaster.

Region choice

Choose where your encrypted data lives.

No indexing

Your files are never scanned, sold, or used to train anything.

Desktopchik is currently in private beta.

Questions people ask first.

What happens if I delete a file by mistake?

Open an earlier snapshot and restore that file; it comes back exactly as it was saved. Deleted files stay available for as long as your version history window lasts.

Can you read my files?

No. Files are encrypted on your computer before they are uploaded, and the keys stay with you. We can see that a backup ran — not what is inside it.

Does it work on Windows and macOS?

Yes. The agent runs on both, and they share the same account, the same folders, and the same set of snapshots.

Can I restore to a new computer?

Yes. Install the agent on the new machine, sign in, and choose a snapshot. Restore one folder or just the handful of files you need.
