The record

Purpose: BitMatch copies camera-card footage to multiple drives and verifies the copies so users can tell when a card is safe to erase.
Intended users: The project is aimed at indie filmmakers, YouTubers, photographers, and small productions.
Transfer verification: Standard mode checks each destination with SHA-256; Thorough adds a source reread and MD5, while Paranoid compares every byte and uses SHA-256.
Camera support: Camera detection covers Sony, Canon, ARRI, RED, Blackmagic, Panasonic, Fujifilm, GoPro, DJI, Insta360, and generic DCIM.
Reports: Transfer results can be exported as PDF, CSV, and JSON on Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
ASC MHL: ASC MHL inventory creation is enabled by default for verified copies and can be turned off in Advanced settings.
Remote backup: Mac supports optional SFTP uploads after a local copy is verified; the server needs SFTP and SSH shell access, and S3 and WebDAV are unavailable.
Privacy: The guide says the app does not upload analytics and that selected data goes to the server chosen for remote backup.
File safety: BitMatch reads the source without writing to it, uses temporary files, and does not overwrite conflicting destination files.
Limitations: The project describes itself as beta software from a one-person project and says it has not tested every camera, drive, filesystem, hub, or OS combination.
Hardware validation: The hardware validation page says no physical-device test reports are recorded in its matrix yet.
Platforms: The repository offers a signed and notarized Mac build for Apple Silicon and Intel, requires macOS 15.5 or newer, and says iPhone and iPad builds must currently be built from source.
Support: The guide directs users who find a problem to follow its diagnostics guide and provide the exact error and relevant app, OS, drive, and filesystem details.
