DumpSock

Compare & Merge ​

Side-by-side diff between your iPhone and the destination folder.

What it shows ​

  • Source (Device): total items + size on the iPhone.
  • Destination (Backup): total items + size on your disk.
  • Per-category split: Photos, Videos, Live Photos, Screenshots, Documents, Other.
  • Three filter pills:
    • New in Device — on the phone but not yet at your destination.
    • New in Backup — at your destination but not on the phone (could be older photos you've archived).
    • Different — same filename but a different byte size somewhere.

How the matching works ​

DumpSock matches files by filename + byte size, walking your destination tree once at startup and the iPhone's DCIM via AFC. The hash mode is fast and works for almost every real-world case (iPhone filenames are unique within DCIM; matching by both name and size catches edge cases where the same name was reused).

For paranoid use cases, dumpsock pull --hash sha256 will eventually swap this for content-hashing (issue #2 — not yet shipped).

Status ​

Compare & Merge UI is live; live counts will be wired up as soon as the in-flight engine work in #2 lands. Until then the panel shows representative numbers from a sample run.
