Score: 5.5/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

Resticker is a macOS menu bar app that schedules restic backups, handles catch-up after sleep, and provides point-and-click restore with keychain-backed secrets. It fills a modest gap for Mac users who want a GUI wrapper around restic without losing cron-like scheduling, but it is a thin native frontend rather than a novel backup engine.

Target audience: macOS power users and developers who already use restic
