Versions:
restic-browser 0.3.2, published by emuell, is a lightweight, cross-platform graphical front-end that opens restic backup repositories for interactive browsing and selective restoration without command-line operations. Designed for users who rely on the open-source restic deduplication engine but prefer visual navigation, the utility mounts any local or remote restic repository, exposes snapshots as a browsable file tree, and lets users preview or extract individual files and folders with a few clicks. Typical use cases include quick retrieval of documents from encrypted cloud backups, comparison of multiple snapshot versions before a full restore, and safe off-loading of specific directories to an external drive without altering the repository structure. Because the interface is built with neutral icons and read-only defaults, accidental overwrites are avoided, making the tool suitable for both personal archives and shared team storage. The program is distributed in two consecutive public releases—0.3.1 and the current 0.3.2—each delivered as portable executables for Windows, macOS, and Linux, so no elevated privileges or background services are required. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
