Secure Local Backup

The watchman for your files.

Shomer quietly watches the folders that matter, encrypts every copy, and verifies it's intact — so when something goes wrong, you restore in a click. Your data never leaves your machine.

What it does

Backup that protects, watches, and proves itself

"Shomer" means guardian — and that's the job: keep a safe, verified copy of your work without you having to think about it.

👁️

Always watching

Monitors your chosen folders and backs up changes automatically, on a schedule you set — no manual copying.

🔒

Strong encryption

Every backup is encrypted with AES-256 and tied to your machine, so a stolen drive is just noise to anyone else.

✔️

Verified integrity

Each file is hashed and checked, so you know your backup is complete and uncorrupted — not just present.

↩️

One-click restore

A simple restore screen brings files back fast when you need them — no command line, no guesswork.

🧠

Anomaly detection

Watches for unusual file activity — like a wave of sudden changes — and flags it so surprises don't slip by.

🖥️

Runs in the background

Installs as a Windows background service with a clean local dashboard, quietly doing its job after every reboot.

Who it's for

For anyone who can't afford to lose their files

Private, local, and simple — no subscriptions, no sending your data to someone else's servers.
