iCareFone
iCareFone is an iOS device management utility for macOS that helps users manage files on iPhone, iPad and iPod. It provides tools for transferring photos, music, videos, contacts, messages and apps between Apple devices and a Mac, backing up and restoring iOS data, removing duplicate photos, managing storage, and fixing various iOS software issues. The app also includes features for removing ads from iOS apps and blocking iOS updates. It targets Mac users who want to manage their iOS device data without relying on iTunes or iCloud alone, particularly those troubleshooting software problems or performing data migrations.

1 suggestionAccording to the vendor's own documentation, iCareFone already supports both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs natively, so your copy may already be running the native build depending on when it was installed. To confirm you have the latest native version and ensure full compatibility before macOS 28 arrives in late 2027, visit icarefone.org or check for updates within the app itself. If you are still running an older build, download the current version directly from the vendor's site — the installer will automatically serve the native Apple Silicon build on M-series Macs. Native builds of iCareFone deliver better performance and battery efficiency during file transfers and backups compared to running under Rosetta 2.
