Resty Desktop, a GUI for the Restic Backup Application

June 26, 2026 Nic Raboy

There are quite a few backup applications in circulation, each with their own set of benefits. I have personally become very fond of the Restic backup application because of it being quick, reliable, and open source.

Typically when I use Restic on my server I'm using Backrest, like demonstrated in a previous tutorial. When I am on my desktop I use the CLI, but often find it cumbersome to remember the commands, paths to my backups, etc.

This brought me to the creation of Resty Desktop, a GUI wrapper to the official Restic CLI application!
