About
HomeIn — bring your phone's photos and videos quietly back home. No cloud drive, no subscription, no worrying about private photos being scanned or leaked somewhere. As long as your phone and home computer share the same WiFi, opening HomeIn transfers new photos and videos to your designated shared folder over the local network via SMB — nothing ever touches an external server. WHY HOMEIN • Fully private — your data only ever travels inside your own router; we can't see it, and it never reaches any cloud • Buy once, no subscription — try it free for 7 days, then unlock for life with a single purchase; use the computer or NAS you already own, no monthly cloud fees • Effortless incremental backup — open the app at home and new photos back up on their own; the system may also run backups in the background when idle, and if the computer is off it retries later • Interruption-safe — HomeIn remembers what's already backed up, so an interrupted run only uploads what's left; even after reinstalling, it recognizes existing backups and skips duplicates • Per-device isolation — everyone's phone in the household gets its own space in the shared folder CORE FEATURES • Home photo wall: grouped by month, backup status at a glance, multi-column browsing and full-screen preview (video playback included) • Automatic LAN discovery: no need to hunt down IP addresses — just scan and find your home computer • Flexible backup rules: filter by album, choose original or compressed quality, customize file naming, set a start date • App Lock: 6-digit PIN to keep others from browsing your photo wall • Bilingual (Chinese/English) with a full user guide, including Windows / macOS / Linux Samba setup instructions BEFORE YOU START 1. A computer with SMB/Samba sharing enabled (built into Windows; available on macOS and Linux) 2. Your phone and computer on the same home WiFi 3. Open HomeIn and enter the host address, shared folder, and credentials as prompted PRICING Try every feature free for 7 days. After the trial, backing up photos and videos requires a one-time Lifetime Unlock — no subscription, no automatic charges. Browsing photos, editing the configuration and the files already on your computer are not affected. Your photos. Your home. Nowhere else.Read more
HomeIn — bring your phone's photos and videos quietly back home.
No cloud drive, no subscription, no worrying about private photos being scanned or leaked somewhere. As long as your phone and home computer share the same WiFi, opening HomeIn transfers new photos and videos to your designated shared folder over the local network via SMB — nothing ever touches an external server.
WHY HOMEIN
• Fully private — your data only ever travels inside your own router; we can't see it, and it never reaches any cloud
• Buy once, no subscription — try it free for 7 days, then unlock for life with a single purchase; use the computer or NAS you already own, no monthly cloud fees
• Effortless incremental backup — open the app at home and new photos back up on their own; the system may also run backups in the background when idle, and if the computer is off it retries later
• Interruption-safe — HomeIn remembers what's already backed up, so an interrupted run only uploads what's left; even after reinstalling, it recognizes existing backups and skips duplicates
• Per-device isolation — everyone's phone in the household gets its own space in the shared folder
CORE FEATURES
• Home photo wall: grouped by month, backup status at a glance, multi-column browsing and full-screen preview (video playback included)
• Automatic LAN discovery: no need to hunt down IP addresses — just scan and find your home computer
• Flexible backup rules: filter by album, choose original or compressed quality, customize file naming, set a start date
• App Lock: 6-digit PIN to keep others from browsing your photo wall
• Bilingual (Chinese/English) with a full user guide, including Windows / macOS / Linux Samba setup instructions
BEFORE YOU START
1. A computer with SMB/Samba sharing enabled (built into Windows; available on macOS and Linux)
2. Your phone and computer on the same home WiFi
3. Open HomeIn and enter the host address, shared folder, and credentials as prompted
