-
Open the disk image and sign in
Drag Yester to Applications and open it. Sign in with Apple, or with your email and a six-digit code. If this is your first Mac on Yester, you create an account and choose which country your backups are kept in.
-
Enter your admin password
Yester installs a small helper that runs backups on a schedule, even when the app is closed and while you are logged out. macOS asks for your password once.
-
Allow Full Disk Access
System Settings opens on the right page. Switch Yester on so it can back up everything, including Mail, Photos, Messages and app data.
-
Save your recovery key
Yester shows it once. Put it in your password manager, print it, or let Yester keep a copy in your iCloud Keychain. Your backup is encrypted with a key only you hold, so Yester cannot recover your data without it.
-
Choose a plan
Yester reads your Mac’s built-in storage and shows the price. Add a card and the first backup starts straight away. If Yester isn’t for you, ask for a full refund within 60 days.
The first backup is the big one
The most important things go first, so documents, desktop and projects are safe within the hour. Photos and apps follow. Yester pauses on battery power and slows down during video calls. Leave your Mac plugged in and awake overnight to finish sooner.
