Technology that disappears into your life.
Every Maktar product is built on the same principle: protection should be effortless. If it asks you to remember, configure, or think — it isn’t good enough.
It took us a decade — across two product families and nine generations of in-house silicon — to refine that philosophy.
Piconizer
A photo album, in your pocket.
The insight that changed everything
In 2015, every iOS external drive was built around the same idea: a dual-interface USB stick with a file browser, designed for the business user. We watched what people actually did with their iPhones — they took photos, thousands of them, and ran out of space.They didn’t need a file manager. They needed more room for memories.
Three buttons. That’s it.
Piconizer (Picture + Organizer) stripped away everything unnecessary. No file browser, no folder hierarchy, no settings. Three buttons: Backup, Browse, Restore. Plug into iPhone, photos saved. Unplug, done.
Qubii
Backup happens while you charge.
It started with a question
By 2017 the problem had shifted from "not enough space" to "too much I can’t lose." Everyone agreed backup mattered — but nobody actually did it. The habit was too hard. We asked a simple question: wouldn’t it be better if backup happened while you charged?
The MFi breakthrough
Apple’s MFi program included a feature called App Launch — originally designed to prompt users to open an App when an accessory is connected. We discovered it could launch the App directly, no user interaction required. No prompt, no tap. Plug the phone in — App opens, backup starts. That discovery became the foundation of Qubii.
It’s the size of a stock Apple 5 W charger — you stop noticing it.
Capacity is your call. The storage is yours.
App launches automatically, incremental backup begins — photos, video, contacts — picking up exactly where it left off.
No cloud subscription. No setup. No habit to learn.
Qubii Air
Enterprise-grade digital-asset protection.
Built on a decade of protecting personal memories for over a million users, Qubii Air introduces a three-layer protection architecture — designed for carriers, enterprise IT, and managed-service providers.
Automatic backup to local storage — the proven, trusted Qubii experience. Fast, private, no network required. The data is physically next to you.
Reach your backups from anywhere over a peer-to-peer connection. Nothing has to live in a central cloud. Direct device-to-device access — speed and privacy intact.
Long-term archival on AWS Glacier. Disaster-grade protection: even if every local device is lost — theft, fire, flood — the digital assets survive. The layer that turns backup into insurance.
Traditional backup asks: "Where do you want your files stored?"
Qubii Air asks a different question:
"How fully do you want your irreplaceable memories protected?"
