The Attic is five local desktop apps — EmailAttic, PictureAttic, DocAttic, ChatAttic, ContactAttic — that pull your scattered data (old backups, dead phones, cloud exports) into one de-duplicated archive on your own computer. Nothing is uploaded, no account, no subscription: buy one app, a Trio, or the whole Suite. Born from consolidating one family's 736,000 emails and 472,982 photos.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Michael.
This started as one stubborn problem: consolidating my family's email, which turned out to be 736,000 messages across 236 backup files — half of them duplicates. I built a local tool to fix it. Then I realized the same rot was everywhere: 472,982 photos across four terabytes of drives and phones, documents in a hundred folders, chat exports nobody could read, contacts split across a stack of old phones. Same problem, same fix, five times over.
The Attic is five small desktop apps — EmailAttic, PictureAttic, DocAttic, ChatAttic, ContactAttic — that each gather your scattered data, de-duplicate it, and organize it into one archive on your own computer. They run on Windows and Linux today, with a Mac build on the way. Everything runs locally: nothing uploaded, no account, no subscription. Buy one app, pick any three as a Trio, or get the whole Suite.
The unglamorous 80% of the work was the de-duplication and the "don't silently lose anything" edge cases across five different data types. Happy to talk about the privacy model, or why I went desktop-native and offline-first instead of cloud.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 Michael here, maker of AtticSuite.
This started with my own family's digital mess — decades of email, photos, and documents scattered across old drives and "backup-FINAL" folders, half of it duplicated. I couldn't find anything that just cleaned it up without uploading it all to someone's cloud first. So I built it.
AtticSuite is five small, local-only desktop apps:
• EmailAttic — decades of scattered email into one clean archive
• PictureAttic — every photo & video, filed by year and camera
• DocAttic — scans, PDFs and records, gathered and de-duplicated
• ChatAttic — WhatsApp/iMessage exports into one searchable archive
• ContactAttic — every address book merged into one clean set
Each one does one job properly, entirely on your computer — nothing leaves the machine. It's a one-time purchase ($59.99 each / $129.99 for any three / $199.99 for all five), no subscription, and the files it produces are ordinary folders you'll be able to read for decades.
