Sling every photo of the people you love — straight from your iPhone to your own drive.
No cloud. No subscription.
Cloud services were convenient — until the price increases, the privacy concerns, and the realisation your most precious memories are sitting on a stranger's hard drive. There's a better way.
iCloud, Google Photos, Amazon — your photos live on their infrastructure, subject to their terms, their price increases, their decisions about your data.
See how to stop paying for iCloud →Drag and drop, import tools, Finder windows — it still means sitting at a desk, plugging in cables, waiting for progress bars. It's 2026.
Every backup service charges you monthly, forever. Stop paying and your access disappears. Your own photos held hostage by a recurring bill.
iCloud charges feel small every month. Add them up and they become something else entirely. See your number — then decide if Sling Photos makes sense.
That's 24× the cost of Sling Photos back in your pocket over the next 5 years.
Add the names of the people you want to archive. Sling Photos uses on-device face recognition to find every photo of them automatically.
Choose this year, the last decade, or everything. Set up recurring archives for birthdays and anniversaries that run automatically every year.
Tap Sling. Your photos transfer directly over Wi-Fi to your NAS or network drive — full resolution, organised into folders, every file verified.
Every feature designed with one principle — your photos stay yours.
Apple's Vision framework finds every photo of your priority people — without sending a single image to a server. Runs entirely on your iPhone's Neural Engine.
Photos arrive on your drive already organised by person, date, city, tags, and event albums. No manual sorting. Open the folder and everything is where you expect.
Set a birthday once. Every year, Sling finds all photos from that date automatically.
Every file is checksummed. If anything doesn't match, Sling retries it. Nothing gets lost.
Synology, QNAP, WD, or any SMB-compatible drive. Even a Mac with File Sharing enabled.

Most photo apps are built on a model where your photos go to their servers. That's how they train their AI, target their ads, and justify their valuations. Sling Photos was built to make that model unnecessary.
Sling Photos collects no data about you, your photos, or how you use the app. The privacy nutrition label in the App Store confirms it: Data Not Collected.
