Pastel is a native macOS (Apple Silicon, macOS 26+) SwiftUI application for downloading historical versions of iOS apps as IPA files from the App Store using your Apple account. Downloaded IPAs can be previewed and sent via AirDrop to an iPhone or iPad for installation.

Use cases

  • download old versions of ios apps as ipa files
  • install a previous version of an app on iphone or ipad
  • search the app store across regions with my apple account
  • airdrop an ipa to my ipad to sideload
  • find version ids for an app from multiple sources
  • capture app data packages automatically when downloading

When to choose

  • you need a native mac gui to fetch old app store versions
  • you want automatic region/account switching and stable 2FA login via GSA
  • you are on an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 26 and want AirDrop integration

When to avoid

  • you use Windows or Linux - there is no build for those platforms
  • you need a currently working tool - Apple auth changes have broken logins and the project is discontinued
  • you need to download paid apps you have never purchased
