Resticity is a graphical front-end for Restic, designed to simplify the management of encrypted backups. It provides an interface for organising backup operations without requiring users to work directly with Restic’s command-line options.
The application was developed using Wails, combining a desktop interface with the underlying backup functionality. It was intended for personal backup setups and smaller self-hosted environments where users wanted to manage recurring backups through a graphical application.
Resticity is no longer maintained. Its source repository has been archived, and the developer’s documentation indicates that the Windows and macOS implementations were unfinished. Linux is the platform for which the project provided its established desktop implementation.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Graphical interface for configuring and managing Restic backup operations.
- Supports repositories stored on local disks and mounted network drives.
- Remote backup destinations include Amazon Web Services, Backblaze, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
- Configure recurring schedules for automated backup operations.
- System tray integration for accessing the application without keeping its main window open.
- Background operation for running scheduled backups without the desktop interface being visible.
- Desktop notifications when scheduled backup jobs begin.
- Notifications reporting successful completion or errors during scheduled operations.
- Custom hooks that execute when a scheduled backup starts or finishes.
- Separate hooks for successful and unsuccessful backup operations.
- Light and dark interface themes.
- Custom configuration file locations through command-line options or environment variables.
- Uses the XDG configuration directory for its default settings location.
- Debug logging for investigating problems with backup operations.
