Beautiful, Silent, and Completely Automatic
The Best Cloud Backup for Mac
Beautiful, Silent, and Completely Automatic
Softyz Inc is the best cloud backup for Mac —that lives quietly in your menu bar, protecting every document, photo, and project file the moment you save it. Beautiful, fast, and completely invisible until you need it.
Core features
Built to feel at home on your Mac
Softyz for Mac is designed with the same care and precision you expect from macOS — minimal, powerful, and completely unobtrusive.
Softyz Inc. runs as a native ARM64/Intel on M1, M2, M3, and M4 Macs — maximizing speed and efficiency while using a fraction of your battery.
Files are encrypted locally on your Mac before upload. Not even Softyz Inc. can read your data — your encryption key never leaves your device.
Set automatic backup windows around your schedule. Softyz Inc. detects when your Mac is idle or charging and runs full backups without interrupting your flow.
Softyz lives quietly in your Mac menu bar. One click shows your backup status, recent activity, and quick access to restore — no clutter, no dock icon required.

What Mac Users Say
Mac — Reviews from US Users
We’re a design agency — 12 MacBooks, all running Softyz. Our creative director accidentally overwrote a final brand deliverable on a Friday afternoon. Version history had the exact right version from 2 hours earlier. Client never knew. That’s worth the entire annual subscription.
I am 71 years old and not great with technology. My grandson helped me install it. Since that one setup, I have not touched it once. My photos are backed up every day and I feel safe knowing they’re protected.
Apple Silicon native binary — it’s tiny, fast, and uses essentially no battery. I get 15 hours on my M2 Air and Softyz Inc doesn’t shave a single hour off that. The engineering quality shows. It feels like an Apple-designed app.
