Your Mac is
backed up.
Time Machine in the cloud. Yester backs up your whole Mac every hour, encrypted before it leaves, and keeps every version for as long as your plan says. One restore screen where you pick a version by sight.
How it works
Set it up once. After that, Yester is something you only think about when you need a file back.
-
Every hour, a snapshot
Yester takes a snapshot of your whole Mac and uploads only what changed. Documents, photos, apps, settings, mail — all of it. It works in the background, pauses on battery power and slows down during video calls, and picks up where it left off if you close the lid.
-
One restore screen, with previews
Go back to a day you remember having the file. Scrub a timeline that stops only where the file changed, look at a preview of each version, and restore the one that looks right. Today’s file is kept too, so you can always undo.
-
A whole Mac, on a new machine
Sign in on a new or wiped Mac and Yester brings back your apps, settings and files. Use it after about ten minutes — whatever you open first jumps the queue. Or hand a drive to Migration Assistant and let it do the rest.
Backing up
your whole Mac.
The first backup is the big one. Keep using your Mac as usual — Yester works in the background and picks up where it left off if you close the lid.
Nothing on your Mac can delete a backup — not ransomware, not a mistake.
Your Mac can add to its backup and read from it. It can never delete from it — not an app, not malware, not you at two in the morning. Versions are removed only by Yester’s retention rules when they pass your plan’s window, and a 30-day safety net sits behind even that.
Encrypted before it leaves
Everything is encrypted on your Mac with a key only you hold. Yester never has it, so nobody at Yester can read your files — and nobody can reset your key for you. Keep your recovery key safe.
Kept while you pay
The current state of everything you pay for stays backed up, connected or not. A drive that lives in a drawer for months is still covered, and still restorable.
Checked, not assumed
Every week Yester restores 50 random files and compares them byte for byte with what it backed up. You see the result on the Overview screen, not in a log.
Priced per Mac, by built-in storage.
Every plan backs up the whole Mac, every hour. Plans differ only in how far back you can go.
