BorgMate - a cross-platform desktop GUI for BorgBackup

[oddbit-io]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to share https://borgmate.oddbit.io - a cross-platform desktop GUI for BorgBackup.

Built for simplicity and aimed at individual users who want to back up their daily work (documents, photos, projects) without touching CLI. It lives in the system tray, no daemons or services to manage — for those who like their tools to stay out of the way. Not intended for complex backup strategies.

Features: repository management, scheduled backups, archive browsing & restore, check/compact, keychain-based passphrase storage, real-time progress, auto-updates. Runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

This is early software - expect rough edges.

May I ask if AI has been used to create this app?

(It seems the main website is unreachable for me?)

Yes, AI assisted. Website suddenly stopped working, looks like a DNS issue, investigating...

UPD: DNS should work now
