DumpSock backs up your iPhone and iPad to your computer. No iCloud, no subscriptions, no account, no telemetry — just clean, dated archives on the disk you already own.
No technical knowledge required. No setup wizard. Plug in, hit one button, walk away.
USB-C or Lightning. Trust the computer when iOS asks. DumpSock detects the device and shows you what's on it — number of photos, videos, screenshots, plus total size.
Pick a destination folder. DumpSock writes a date-sorted tree (YYYY-MM-DD/) with the original capture date preserved. Live progress, no surprises.
Optionally enable --delete-after to free space on the phone. Or don't. Either way, your files are on your disk, in folders you can browse without DumpSock ever running again.
Illustrative quotes — DumpSock is brand-new, so these are written in the spirit of the people we built it for. Send us yours once you've used it for real.
"I have a NAS, three external drives, and zero photos in the cloud. DumpSock is the missing link between my iPhone and the disk I actually trust."
"My iCloud was 'almost full' for three years. DumpSock + --delete-after gave me back 180 GB on the phone in one evening, and the originals are on my own RAID where they belong."
"Cute mascot, honest software. No tracking, no upsell, no 'pro' tier. Donated because I wanted to, not because they paywalled the dark-mode toggle (which doesn't exist — and that's the point)."
Donations are voluntary and never gate any feature. If DumpSock saved you an iCloud subscription or recovered storage you needed, you can drop us something below — no strings, no perks, just a thank you.
