Stash
Back up what you'd hate to lose.
Stash zips up the folders you actually care about — dotfiles, scripts, savegames — and pushes them to your own Google Drive or a local disk, on a schedule. No account but your own, no server in between.
How it works
Four decisions, then Stash stays out of your way.
Pick what matters
Point Stash at the folders and files you don't want to lose.
Choose where it lives
Your own Google Drive account, or a disk you already have.
Set how often
Every hour, once a day, or off — you trigger it by hand instead.
Stash keeps it current
Quiet backups in the background. Restore from any machine when you need to.
What's in the app
One backup app, not a suite. Here's what it actually does.
Where your data actually goes
Worth being specific about, since it's asking for Drive access.
No server in the middle
Stash is a desktop app. It reads the files you point it at and writes them straight to your own Google Drive account or your own disk — nothing passes through a server Stash operates, because none exists. Your Google tokens are encrypted on disk and never leave your machine.
The Drive permission Stash asks for is drive.file — access only to files Stash itself creates. It can't see, read, or touch anything else in your Drive. Full detail in the privacy policy.
About that security warning
Stash isn't code-signed yet, so your OS will flag the installer on first run. That's Gatekeeper or SmartScreen being cautious about an unsigned app, not a virus scanner catching something.
macOS — if it says the app "is damaged and can't be opened," run this in Terminal after moving it to Applications:
xattr -cr /Applications/Stash.app
Windows — click "More info," then "Run anyway" on the SmartScreen prompt.

Binaries are built and published straight from source on every release — see them on GitHub Releases.
