Everything between
you and your files.
Direct connections
Backu reaches your devices over encrypted Iroh connections and falls back to relays only when the network requires it.
Native on macOS
Use the desktop browser or mount your remote files through Finder with the File Provider extension.
Passkey security
Sign in with the security built into your device. Every browser and command-line session stays visible and revocable.
Fast local index
A compact filesystem database keeps large trees searchable without repeatedly walking every directory.
Useful previews
Open text and images in place, inspect metadata, and move through remote directories without breaking your flow.
Built for the real network
