iExplorer
iExplorer is a file-management utility for macOS that lets users browse, transfer and manage files on connected iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) without relying on iTunes or Finder. It supports viewing and copying documents, photos, music and other files between a Mac and iOS device, and includes features for organizing files by type, searching, and managing app data. The app serves users who need direct access to iOS file systems for backup, recovery, or asset management workflows.

1 suggestioniExplorer has been discontinued by its developer and is no longer maintained. The RoaringApps database explicitly flags it as end-of-life with no ongoing support. There is no native Apple Silicon build available, and the Intel-only version will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). The app is now only two years away from becoming unusable on any Mac running macOS 28 or later. For iOS file management, modern alternatives with confirmed native Apple Silicon support include Apple's Finder (which has substantially improved iOS file access in recent macOS releases), the free iOS App Installer, or third-party tools like PhoneRescue (which focuses on data recovery and device management and runs natively on M-series Macs). If you actively rely on iExplorer's specific features, contact the developer to ask whether a native build is planned, or begin exploring these alternatives to prepare for the Rosetta 2 sunset.
