Copy your cards and cameras to disk.
Checksum-verified, never duplicated.
A macOS app for offloading SD cards, cameras, drones, action cams, and USB drives to your disk. Every copied file is checksum-verified, and cards you've already imported are recognized automatically so nothing is copied twice.
π§ͺ In closed beta on macOS (Apple Silicon). Version 1.0 follows once the beta wraps up.
Checksum Verification
Every copied file is verified against its source with a checksum (BLAKE3, XxHash3, SHA-256, or CRC32) before it's marked as done.
Recognizes Your Cards
Identifies cards and cameras it has seen before by hardware identity and file hash, so already-copied content isn't re-imported.
Source Left Untouched Until Verified
Nothing is removed from the card until every destination copy has passed its checksum check β clearing space is always optional and manual.
No Account, No Cloud
Runs entirely on your Mac. No sign-up, no upload β files go straight from card to disk.
Smart Import & Smart Copy
Designed from the ground up for photographers, video creators, drone operators, and anyone who needs a reliable file transfer with checksums to back it up.
Plug in a card β see everything in an instant
Jaybit Copy automatically detects connected SD readers, USB drives, cameras, action cams (GoPro, DJI), drones, and audio players based on their hardware identity.
- Media breakdown into Photos / Video / Audio on clear device cards.
- Single-click Import All button for full card offloading.
- Quick preview of the last 5 tasks with direct access to full History.
Intelligent status filtering & 5 clear file states
The thumbnail grid with filter tabs lets you examine your files before transferring. The app accurately distinguishes between already imported files and missing target copies.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| New | File has never been imported from this device before. |
| Duplicate | Identical content already exists in the destination folder. |
| Imported | File was previously copied successfully. |
| Missing Copy | History records import, but target copy was deleted manually. |
Your custom folder hierarchy built from metadata blocks
Stop manually creating `2026-08-11_Wedding` directories. Build reusable templates once, and Jaybit Copy automatically organizes your files.
- Separate templates for Photos, Video, and Audio.
- Save naming presets under custom names for easy reuse.
- Optional "Delete from source after verification" toggle to free SD space safely.
Pause, automatic retries & smart conflict handling
Transferring 128 GB of footage doesn't have to be stressful. Corrupted card sectors are retried automatically without breaking the entire queue.
- Checksum algorithms: BLAKE3 (recommended, ultra-fast), XxHash3, SHA-256, CRC32.
- Conflict resolution: Overwrite / Skip / Rename / Overwrite if newer with "Apply to all".
- Preserves original creation and modification file timestamps.
Real-time progress & post-import reports
Track active transfers: live MB/s speed, completed/failed counter, and exact estimated completion time (e.g., 14:32 completion, not just "5 mins left").
- Export comprehensive reports (HTML / CSV / TXT).
- Test button β re-verify copied files on target disk using checksums.
- Unified conflict banner collecting file prompts in one place.
Automation for trusted hardware
Assign a custom profile to any SD card or camera. Turn on Auto-import, and the copy process starts automatically as soon as the card is inserted!
- Smart Copy β folder-to-folder copying mode with missing file synchronization.
- Full History log with single-file retry capability.
- System menu bar / tray icons with live task status.
Fast folder-to-folder synchronization
Need to sync project files or backups between two SSDs? Smart Copy compares source and target directory structures, copying only missing or modified files.
- Choose "Copy All" or "Sync Missing Files".
- Preserves original file timestamps and metadata.
- Optionally generates checksum manifest files right in the target directory.
Full transparency β telemetry you control
We respect your privacy. The app never sends your file contents, file names or paths β ever. It reports anonymous crash diagnostics and transfer summaries so we can fix what actually breaks; a persistent installation identifier is attached only if you opt in. Everything can be switched off in Settings β Diagnostics. If you hit a problem, the built-in diagnostic report generator lets you preview every character before sending.
- App Sandbox on macOS (full system security compliance).
- Optionally attach up to 3 screenshots to report submissions.
- All application history and config stored in a single local database file on your disk.
