One colour. You know where you stand.

Red: don't format

Some files on the card aren't on your drive yet. Dumped tells you how many.

Orange: not yet

The card is on your working drive, but not on any backup.

Green: ready to format

Everything's confirmed on your drives. Eject the card.

Project memory

Which project is on which drive? Dumped knows.

Every project Dumped creates is remembered with its client, its date and the drive it lives on. Open the Projects window and you see where each one is, even when the drive is unplugged at the back of a drawer.

With several working drives, the next card goes by itself to the one that already holds its project of the day.

How it works

From the card to the green light, in four steps.

  1. 01

    Plug in

    You plug in your card. Dumped lives in the menu bar and opens on its own.

  2. 02

    Compare

    Every file is compared to your drive by its content, not by its name.

  3. 03

    File and copy

    Client, project name: the folders are created following your structure. Only the missing files are copied, then read back.

  4. 04

    Format

    The backup follows on. When the orb turns green, you eject and you format.

Dumped in one minute.

Features

Built so you never lose a file.

Comparison by content

A fingerprint of every file, not its name. Two different C0001.MP4 files never get mixed up.

Verified copy

Every file is read back from the drive and compared to the card. The card itself is never modified.

Chained backups

Add a backup drive: the green light waits until the card is there too.

Your folder structure

Tokens you drag into place: year, client, date, name, camera. Dumped can also learn the structure you already follow.

Drive memory

Dumped remembers what your drive holds, even unplugged, and answers from memory.

Cameras and cards recognized

Model and serial number read from the card. Two identical bodies are filed in separate folders.

Why Dumped

Made by a photographer, for his own shoots.

After a shoot, I want to format my card without wondering whether everything is really on my drives. I couldn't find a tool that simply answered that, so I built Dumped: one colour in the menu bar, and I know where I stand.

Questions

Does Dumped modify my card?
No. The card is never opened for writing. Dumped reads, copies and verifies.
What if my drive is unplugged?
Dumped answers from memory, with the date it last saw the drive, and asks you to plug it in to confirm before formatting.
Which cameras are recognized?
Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Lumix, Olympus, GoPro, DJI and iPhone cards. The file types counted are adjustable.
Which Macs does it run on?
macOS 13 or later, on Apple silicon Macs and Intel Macs alike.
Is the app in English?
Yes. Dumped follows your Mac's language, English or French, and you can switch in Settings › General.
How much does it cost?
$12 a month, or $100 a year, after a 14-day free trial. One key works on two Macs. Cancel anytime, and your files, projects and settings stay in place.
Does Dumped work without the internet?
Yes. Dumped checks your subscription once a day when the Mac is online, and works for up to 14 days without a network. A shoot in the middle of nowhere won't lock it.
