App Description

Explore and extract data from unencrypted/encrypted iPhone backups on your Mac.
You can explore files like in Finder app in outline mode.
You can also export the files out to other places then do some detail operations such like viewing the SQLite database file through other Tools.
There are some very important data you may be interested in, SMS, Contacts, Call History, Notes, Safari Bookmarks, Photos, Calendar, Reminder and so on.

No subscriptions, just Buy one time, you will own it, and many feature updates.

For Normal User:

This app is not a data recovery app. But in some situation, it call help you to find some important data you deleted in mistake or when you just lost your iPhone/iPad and lost all the data in it.
With this app, you can get the data without restore the backup to a real device, this is very important when you don't have an extra spare device.
Of course, all of this assumes that you regularly back up your phone.

For Expert User:

You can extract some valuable data from the backup, such as SMS SQLite database, Contact, Call History, Reminder, Calendar, Notes, Keychain, and data of all the third-party apps, such as WhatsApp, WeChat.
You can export all the chat history of WeChat using some SQLite database Editor tools like Navicat for SQLite( Paid ), DB Browser for SQLite( Free ). I have used DB Browser for SQLite doing research for many years.

How to use:

there is a helpbook shipped with this app, you can click the "Help" menu in the system menubar or help button in the toolbar of the app's main window.

and you can visit my personal website https://www.iamadman.com, there are some documents about the usage of iBackupExplorer and my developing logs.

I am an individual developer, so all the design, coding, test, publish, marketing works were done by myself. I develop this app because I think it's it's useful. Last year, I developped a spam SMS block app, I need some corpus to train my Machine Learning Model, so I develop this app to extract SMS messages from my iPhone backup.
