How it works

From install to peace of mind in under five minutes.

No wizards from 2009. Pick a plan, drop in your encryption key, choose what to protect. Cinder runs quietly in the background from then on.

01
Pick your plan

Choose Spark, Ember, Blaze or Inferno. Single USD payment. No subscription.

02
Install & encrypt

The Cinder client encrypts everything locally with your key before it ever leaves your device.

03
Restore anytime

Browse versions in the web portal. Pull a file, a folder, or a whole drive — from any browser.

Built for what matters

The boring, important things — done extremely well.

Zero-knowledge encryption

AES-256 end-to-end. We never see your files, and we couldn't decrypt them if we tried.

Continuous backups

Changes are captured in real time so you never lose more than a moment of work.

Versioned history

Roll back any file to any moment in time — recover from ransomware, mistakes, or bad merges.

External drives & NAS

Back up not just your laptop, but your photo drives, scratch disks, and small servers.

Restore from anywhere

Pull any file from any device through the web portal — no client install required.

No subscription, ever

Pay once in USD. Use it for the lifetime of the plan. No renewals, no surprise charges.

Pricing

Four plans. All one-time. All in USD.

Every plan is a single payment. No subscriptions, no auto-renewal, no usage traps.
