How it works
Three clear steps
No account. No upload pipeline. Just scan → review → take away.
1
Grant access
Allow media access. Optionally unlock all-files for deeper folders.
2
Scan & review
Watch results stream in. Filter traces vs takeaway files.
3
Recover safely
Share off-device or save to a folder you pick.
Product UI
Real screens, real workflow
Home → results → report. Soft cards, forest teal, honest copy.

History, clean & contacts
Beyond recovery — keep your library tidy and backups honest.
Privacy first
Scanning stays on your device
PickBack does not upload scan results or file contents. Files leave only when you share or save.
Honest limits:
No root required. Not forensic disk carving. Originals aren’t guaranteed — results depend on your device, OEM trash behavior, and permissions.
