A graphical open-source desktop application for viewing, extracting, and replacing files inside iPhone and iPad backups created by iTunes. It supports both encrypted and non-encrypted backups from iOS 10.2 onwards.
Use cases
- extract files from an iPhone backup
- browse contents of an encrypted iOS backup
- replace files inside an iTunes backup
- view iPhone backup files without paying for commercial tools
- recover data from an iPad backup
- open iOS backups on Windows, macOS, or Linux
When to choose
- you need a free, open-source alternative to paid iOS backup extractors
- your backup is encrypted and other tools only offer limited trials
- you want a simple GUI usable by non-technical users
- you need cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
When to avoid
- you need to create new backups rather than explore existing ones
- you need command-line automation or scripting
- you work with backups older than iOS 10.2
- you need to extract data from iCloud backups rather than local iTunes backups
