micloud keeps a private, real-time copy of everything in your iCloud — photos, files, calendars, notes — on infrastructure you control. If Apple ever locks your account or has an outage, nothing you care about disappears.
Your photos, files, and memories live on Apple's terms. One locked account, one policy change, one outage — and access to a lifetime of data can vanish overnight. iCloud syncs your devices; it isn't a backup you own. There's no second copy that's truly yours. micloud is that copy.
micloud runs quietly on a Mac signed into your iCloud and mirrors it to your own storage — without keeping a heavy second copy on the Mac.
The moment a new photo, file, or edit lands in your iCloud, micloud notices it — within seconds, not on an hourly timer.
It pulls down only the one thing that changed, streams it straight to your own storage, then clears the local copy.
Your copy lives on hardware you control — one-way only. micloud reads from iCloud and never writes back to it.
Not just photos. micloud mirrors the whole surface of your Apple account to open, self-hostable software.
Same open-source app, same result: a private copy of your iCloud on storage you own. Choose how hands-on you want to be.
Download the open-source micloud app, run it on an always-on Mac you own, and point it at your own storage. No account with us, no data through us — audit every line and own the whole chain, end to end.
Prefer it simply handled? We do everything — stand up your always-on Mac, provision your private storage, run the setup, and keep it healthy. A real person guides you through it. You sign into iCloud once; we take care of the rest.
One app, open source. The turnkey service is simply us running that same app for you — so you're never locked in. Start hands-off, and take the reins yourself whenever you like.
We're opening micloud to a first group of people who want a real, private backup of their Apple life — whether you'll run it yourself or have us set it up for you.
