A simple, cross-platform restic backup GUI for browsing and restoring restic repositories.
Built with Wails2, based on leaanthony's Restoric PoC.
Download
Prebuilt binaries can be downloaded from the GitHub releases page.
Features
- Displays contents (snapshots, files) from local and remote restic repositories.
- Restores selected files or folders (as a zip archive) to a desired location.
- Opens selected files by moving them to TEMP, then opens them with your operating system's default programs.
This is not a fullblown restic backup GUI - it only allows you to browse existing repositories!
