Try the beta
Getting started takes two minutes:
- Install PicHaven on the PC the photos should go to.
- The setup wizard shows a QR code – scan it with your phone's camera.
- The phone gets the app, you confirm once – done. Backups now run by themselves.
Windows 10/11, no admin rights needed · macOS coming later. The beta installer is not yet code-signed – if Windows SmartScreen warns, choose “More info” → “Run anyway”. The Android app installs itself along the way – no separate download needed.
The beta comes straight from us, not from Google Play – Android will ask once to allow the install. The photos land in the free PC app: open pichaven.app on the computer they should go to and install it there.
