We make Usva, a vault for your photos and videos that stays on your own computer, in plain files.

Your photos belong on your own disk.

Usva looks after your photos and videos without taking them anywhere. The vault is an ordinary folder of ordinary files, so they stay usable with or without Usva.

The details live in the files.

Fix a date, a place or a caption and Usva writes it into the photo or an XMP file beside it. Lightroom, darktable and digiKam read the same details.

Every file stays intact.

Usva fingerprints each file on import. A health check tells you if a photo has changed, gone missing or fallen out of the index.

Straight from your phone.

iPhone and Android phones send photos over your home network straight to the vault on your computer, encrypted, with no cloud service in between.
