Save Overview

Learn what Save can and cannot do for secure mobile media archiving.

Save is an app for Android and iOS that helps you preserve and protect your mobile multimedia. It is designed to support individuals and organizations who need secure, reliable tools in order to fill critical security, verification, preservation, and accessibility gaps in their workflows.

Save is a secure archival workflow tool that helps you protect and manage your mobile media by safely sending it from your phone to either public or secure private servers while collecting contextual metadata to help you verify the media.

What Save Can Do

Save enables you to:

  • Upload verified mobile media to two types of servers: Nextcloud or any webDAV-compatible server (you have full control + it is secure & open source) and the Internet Archive.

  • Control access and create in-app project folders to help you stay secure and organized.

  • Add metadata like notes and location information to individual or batch uploads.

  • Authenticate and verify your media with sha256 hashes automatically and optional ProofMode.

  • Protect your media in transit with automatic Transport Layer Security and optional Orbot (via Tor - the onion router).

  • Add Creative Commons licenses, allowing others to know your intentions for reuse of your media.

What Save Cannot Do

  • Save DOES NOT provide an archive to store your media or personal information

  • Save DOES NOT store your media or personal information anywhere else

  • Save DOES NOT yet have a killswitch or ability to mask the app on your phone (but these features are coming soon)
