Useful starting points
Choose Documents, essential files, Developer Mac, credentials, new-Mac essentials, a complete Mac plan or any custom folder.
Product features
Backup that stays useful after something goes wrong.
ElseKept combines encrypted recovery points, automatic schedules, visible backup progress and selective recovery in one native Mac app.
Protect
Choose a focused folder or prepare the next Mac.
Start small or use curated plans for personal files, credentials, developer work and broader Mac recovery.
Scheduled backups
Run daily, weekly or monthly. The resident menu-bar app continues after its main window closes.
Progress you can act on
See the current phase and result, pause future work, or safely cancel an active backup.
Store and verify
Encrypted locally, then checked.
Storage you control
Use iCloud Drive, a folder, external disk, NAS mount or compatible S3 storage as the live encrypted repository.
More than one destination
Add encrypted replicas in iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, WebDAV, Nextcloud or compatible S3 storage.
Authenticated verification
Structural checks run with backups, deeper verification runs automatically, and incomplete cloud copies are not presented as recoverable.
Recover
Bring back one file, one folder or a broader selection.
Search encrypted indexes, compare versions, preview supported text safely and recover without silently overwriting existing files.
