The openingWhy this idea is overlooked
Everyone assumes their photos are 'in the cloud' until a lost phone proves the sync stopped in 2023, and no platform has an incentive to audit across its competitors' silos. The honest technical reality that keeps builders away: the major photo clouds restrict third-party library access (one major photos API sharply limited third-party reads in 2025), so the workable design runs on local libraries, connected drives, and official export archives rather than live cloud APIs, a desktop-utility shape that is unfashionable and perfectly viable for a small paid tool.

People searching for check if all my photos are backed up deserve a straight answer. The steps below are that answer, with the hype stripped out.
