SpectArk 1.0.0
SpectArk is a native macOS incremental backup app — realtime, folder-scoped, versioned backup of the files you actually care about (your source code and projects), not a whole-system clone.
Highlights
- Realtime backup — point it at a folder and it snapshots the moment a file changes (no schedule, no gap). Scheduled intervals are also available.
- Versioned snapshots (Time Machine style), with unchanged data shared via APFS clones / hardlinks.
- Any source → any destination — local disk or NAS; no dedicated backup drive required.
- Optional encryption — content-defined chunking + dedup, AES-256-GCM with argon2id-derived keys, and a one-time recovery key. Off by default (snapshots stay browsable plaintext).
- Dashboard window + menu-bar dropdown with live throughput and free space.
