PhoneView
PhoneView is a Mac utility that enables users to interact with their iPhone or iPad directly from their computer. It allows users to browse, view, and manage files stored on their iOS devices, access the device's photo library, manage apps, and perform backups — essentially turning an iOS device into an accessible external drive accessible from macOS. The app is particularly useful for power users, developers, and anyone who needs to transfer files between their iPhone/iPad and Mac without relying on cloud services or iTunes.

1 suggestionWe could not find clear information about whether PhoneView has been updated with native Apple Silicon support. The search results returned are entirely unrelated to the app (they concern email account issues with Hotmail and Gmail). To determine your options, we recommend contacting Ecamm Network (the developer) directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build of PhoneView is available or planned. In the meantime, if PhoneView is essential to your workflow, you may continue using it under Rosetta 2, though performance will not be optimal. For file management between iOS and Mac, native alternatives like Apple's Finder (which can access iPhone/iPad via USB or wireless sync in recent macOS versions) or third-party apps like iStat Menus or Commander One Pro (which have native Apple Silicon support) may offer some of the same functionality.
