Rawback Desktop
Use the native desktop client on macOS or Windows to watch local photo libraries, run uploads in the background, and follow every transfer from one focused workspace.
Requirements
macOS app
Keep an eye on local photo libraries, background uploads, and transfer progress from a focused native Mac experience.
Open the DMG and drag Rawback to Applications. If you installed the native Rawback app, this replaces it, and your sign-in carries over.
Signed in · session shared with the rawback CLI
Rawback Desktop uploading a folder: the sidebar lists the Uploads, Camera and Settings screens, the review counts eligible and skipped files and confirms the batch fits your storage, and eight files transfer at a time.
Windows app
Run the same library monitoring and background upload workflow from a native per-user Windows installation.
This installer is not code-signed. After verifying it came from Rawback's official page or CDN, choose More info, then Run anyway if Microsoft Defender SmartScreen appears. Do not disable SmartScreen system-wide.
Step-by-step install, sign-in and memory-card import: Desktop client guide
What it does
Point Rawback at a folder, or at a memory card you have just mounted, and it transfers everything over SFTP in the background.
Drag in a shoot, add files, or add a card’s DCIM folder. Folders are scanned recursively, so nested date and card folders come along.
Before anything leaves your machine, Rawback skips what your library already holds and confirms the batch fits your storage.
Eight files at a time, straight over SFTP. Close the window and it keeps going from the tray, with a progress readout in the notch on macOS.
If an upload is interrupted, restarting picks the batch back up at the next whole file. The tray menu can pause, resume, or retry what failed.
Continue in your browser to sign in. Desktop and the rawback CLI share one session, and your first upload creates the SFTP credential for you.
On a paid plan, connect a Canon camera over CCAPI on the Camera screen and import from its card without taking it out.
