Backfold makes iPhone backups legible

backfold.app Visit website

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Mac and Windows app for backing up iPhones locally, browsing their contents, and restoring or exporting selected data.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-28 issue.

For: iPhone owners managing local backups
Worth noticing: The page says it can open existing Finder or iTunes backups, including encrypted ones, and export WhatsApp chats as HTML, TXT, or CSV.

Field notes

Backfold says it can locate existing Finder or iTunes backups and present their contents by type, rather than leaving users to navigate hashed filenames. The site also describes automatic backups over Wi-Fi, guided restoration from a selected version, and encrypted backups whose password stays on the computer; these are product claims shown on the homepage, not independently tested here.
