What it is

PhoneBastion in a paragraph

PhoneBastion moves photos, videos, messages and files between a phone and a Windows PC over USB or Wi-Fi, keeps full backups on your disk, and rescues media from a phone that will not fully boot. It works with Android and iPhone without installing the makers’ cloud clients.

Planned for the first release

Photos, videos, music, documents and contacts in both directions
Full phone backups to your PC, with versions and restore
Message export (SMS, WhatsApp backups) to readable formats
Media rescue from damaged or half-working phones
HEIC and HEVC converted on the way if you want
USB or local Wi-Fi only; no cloud account
