Syncvault features
🔐 Client-side AES-256-GCM
Key is derived from your passphrase with scrypt, never uploaded and never stored in plaintext.
🧬 Content-addressed dedupe
Objects are keyed by SHA-256 of content, so identical or unchanged files upload exactly once.
🕰️ Point-in-time versioning
Keep the last N versions of every file and browse the backed-up tree as of any point in time to restore.
🪣 BYO destinations
Any S3-compatible endpoint (AWS, B2, Wasabi, R2, MinIO) or a plain local/network folder, mixed per folder.
⏱️ Per-folder scheduling
Manual, continuous, hourly or daily per folder, with deletion tombstones that track removed files without losing history.
💾 100% local index
A SQLite index lives on your machine with zero telemetry and no accounts.
$29 once — that's the whole pricing page
Backblaze Personal charges $9/mo — roughly $108 a year, every year. Syncvault is a single payment, and it keeps working whether or not we ever sell another copy.
Or get Syncvault inside the full suite — every app in the catalog, currently $97 for the bundle. See the bundle →

Honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — Syncvault is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/data-backup-cloud-sync-mvp. The $29 buys the signed Windows installer and 1-click setup; building from source is free.
What happens to my data if I stop using Syncvault?
Nothing is locked up. The SV1 file format is documented, and your data is recoverable with ~20 lines of Node — no vendor lock-in, even from us.
Do you ever see my files or my key?
No. Encryption is client-side, the key never leaves your machine, and the index is a local SQLite file with zero telemetry.
