iBackupbot
iBackupbot is a macOS utility that assists with backing up and managing iOS device data. It enables users to create, restore, and explore backups of iPhones, iPads and iPods directly on their Mac. The app lets users selectively extract or restore individual files and data types from iOS backups without requiring iTunes or Finder. It is typically used by users who want granular control over iOS backup management, data recovery, or transferring specific data between devices.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe most recent version of iBackupbot we can identify is 5.6, released in early 2026, but we found no evidence that a native Apple Silicon build has been shipped. iBackupbot appears to still be maintained, though information about the developer's roadmap and Apple Silicon support plans is limited. Contact the developer directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned, and mention the September 2028 deadline for macOS 28 when Rosetta 2 will be removed — this will help prioritise your request. In the meantime, the Intel build continues to work under Rosetta 2 today. If the developer indicates no native version is planned, start researching alternatives like iOS Backup Extractor or investigating whether the Finder and Apple Configurator 2 (both native) can handle your backup needs going forward.
