## What it is
blobsaver is a cross-platform GUI and CLI application for automatically saving SHSH blobs for iOS devices, useful for future downgrades and jailbreaking. It supports background saving, reading apnonce/generator and ECID, unlimited devices, and uploading to TSS Saver and SHSH Host.

## Use cases
- automatically save SHSH blobs for my iPhone in the background
- save iOS blobs for beta versions without a URL
- read apnonce and generator on jailbroken and unjailbroken devices
- manage SHSH blobs for multiple Apple devices
- automate blob saving from the command line
- upload saved blobs to TSS Saver or SHSH Host

## When to choose
- you need scheduled or background SHSH blob saving across macOS, Windows, or Linux
- you want a GUI plus scriptable CLI for blob management
- you manage blobs for many devices or beta firmware versions

## When to avoid
- you need to actually downgrade or jailbreak a device - this only saves blobs
- you need a headless server-side solution without Java
- you work with non-Apple devices

## Facets
- artifact type: application
