macOS RJ

Free Check

Before you install, run a quick Free Check. It helps you see whether your Mac is ready for local recovery - without uploading private files or secrets.

Stay safe and confidential

  • Do not ask anyone for private information, and never share yours.
  • Do not paste recovery phrases, private keys, passwords, or vault passphrases into Terminal, chat, email, or any website.
  • Run only the command and APP shown here - ignore look-alike links or “support” messages that ask for secrets.
  • Results stay local, we never need the output unless you choose to contact support without secrets.

We never ask for private data, keys or seed phrases

Not on this website, not by email, not in support, and not into our cloud. Secrets stay in the local app on your Mac.
Cloud storage is only for other files you choose to encrypt with a key only you hold - and anyone claiming otherwise is not us.

What they say!

Recovered documents, wallet files, and local backups - without handing secrets to a website.

“Accidentally emptied the Trash with a semester of papers still in it. MacOS RJ brought the Word and PDF files back from the disk before I wrote anything new over them.”

John D.

Graduate student - Independent

“Local backups for client folders, Premium cloud only for encrypted share packs. Keys stay on our Macs—that was the requirement from legal.”

Alex D.

Freelance designer - Independent

“Support said upfront they will never ask for a seed phrase or private key. That policy alone made us trust the product.”

Nina M.

Security Engineer - Riverdale Systems

“Recovered a wallet keystore from a 2016 drive I thought was empty. The scan found it in unallocated space—still only on my machine.”

David S.

Early adopter - Independent

“We use Free for on-desk recovery drills and Premium for encrypted project archives shared with contractors via access keys.”

Emma K.

Operations Lead - Northgate Capital

“Office docs one day, wallet files the next. Same app, same rule: secrets never leave the Mac unless I encrypt them myself for Premium.”

Three steps to recover and back up files on Mac

Install locally, recover deleted files or create a local backup, then verify the result - before you need Premium.

1. Install on your Mac

Download macOS RJ and run Free Check if you want a quick readiness scan. Recovery and local backups work entirely on your machine.

2. Recover or back up

Restore deleted Word, Excel, PDF, photos, audio, video and wallet files - or create a local backup you control after emptying Trash or a disk mistake.

3. Verify & optionally sync

Confirm the restore or backup looks right. Upgrade to Premium only if you want encrypted cloud space and share-by-key features.

macOS file recovery software and local backup

Recover deleted files on Mac, keep local backups, and handle wallet files only on your device unless you encrypt them yourself for Premium.

Recover deleted files on Mac with macOS RJ

Recover deleted files on Mac

Scan after emptied Trash, format mistakes, or damage. Restore Word, Excel, PDF, photos, audio and video while fragments remain on disk.

Local backup for Mac in macOS RJ

Local backup for Mac

Back up to disks and USB drives you choose - an external SSD, a second volume, or a flash drive. Free includes local backup; nothing has to leave hardware you control.

Crypto wallet file recovery on Mac

Crypto wallet file recovery

Recover deleted wallet files on your Mac - Exodus, MetaMask, Phantom, Trust Wallet, and Ledger Live or Trezor Suite data when fragments remain on disk. Secrets stay in the local app; we never ask you to paste a seed phrase or private key on this website.

If the seed is gone and nothing remains on disk, no honest tool can recreate the wallet. We scan Mac disks - we do not unlock Ledger or Trezor hardware.

Encrypted cloud sharing in macOS RJ

Encrypted cloud (Premium)

Store and share non-secret files with end-user encryption. Your encryption key stays on devices you trust; grant access to parts of a vault with additional keys.

Local-first Free plan in macOS RJ

Free stays local

The Free plan needs no account and no cloud. Premium cloud is optional when you want extra space or share-by-key - never required to use recovery on your Mac.

Mac data recovery software that keeps you in control

Recover deleted or erased files on a Mac hard drive - documents, photos, and more - including from emptied Trash. Create a local backup on disks you choose, verify the restore, then add Premium encrypted cloud only if you need extra space or want to share selected files with collaborators via private access keys you control.

Mac hard drive recovery

Scan Mac disks for deleted or erased files after Trash empties, format mistakes, or damaged volumes - before new writes overwrite free space.

Local vaults

Keep encrypted backups on your own drives. Free covers local workflows without forcing an account or upload.

Client-side cloud

Premium uploads ciphertext only. Decryption keys stay on your devices; we cannot read what you store.

Share by key

Grant access to selected cloud files with additional keys - so collaborators see only what you unlock for them.

About Us

macOS RJ (macOS Recovery Jobs) helps you recover, back up, and protect files on your Mac—with Free features that stay local and optional Premium encrypted cloud.

Free recovers deleted or damaged files—Word, PDF, photos, archives, and crypto wallet files—and creates local backups on disks you choose. No account is required. Premium adds encrypted cloud backup and share-by-key features; encryption keys stay on devices you control.

We never ask for a seed phrase or private key on this website, by email, or in support. Wallet material stays in the local app. We are not a custodian: if nothing remains on disk and you have no backup, no honest tool can recreate the secret.

macOS RJ runs on macOS 12 or later, on Apple Silicon and Intel. Recover emptied Trash while fragments remain, verify the restore, then rely on a backup you have actually opened.
