Every archive you have ever made with BatchFox stays openable, with a tool that costs nothing and asks for no subscription. Not a trial. Not a courtesy we can withdraw.
Arriving with the public beta.
Restore is a separate, free app that opens your archives on its own. It is being built now and lands alongside the beta, before you would ever need it.
Getting your archives back never needs a paid plan. If you cancelled, if your card expired, or you never subscribed at all, Restore still opens them.
Move to a new computer, come back years later, your archives still open. No expiry, no window that closes, nothing that lapses out from under your files.
Exact Restore returns the original file byte for byte, checked against a full-file SHA. Super Saver and Payload Saver verify sensor content and label rebuilt surfaces separately. Every archive is checked against the contract it was made under.
Archiving software that holds your files hostage when you stop paying is not archiving software. It is a subscription with your work as collateral.
So the deal is simple. Archiving is the part you pay for. Getting your files back is the part you never do. Cancel whenever you like and every archive you made is still yours, still openable, on any machine, with no bill attached.
Restore is deliberately plain. It does one thing and does it completely: it gives your files back, verified against the contract they were archived under, because correctness is not something we would ever put behind a price. It is unhurried. Speed, and the archiving itself, are what BatchFox is for. Reading your own work back is not, so it costs nothing and always will.
