Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I built AppleFileViewer because I wanted to look through my iPhone backups on my computer without paying for a subscription or uploading anything to a cloud. What it does: • Finds your local iTunes / Finder / Apple Devices backups automatically • Photos with albums, Messages (with attachments), WhatsApp, Calls, Voicemail, Notes, Voice Memos and Contacts • Encrypted backups: unlock with your backup password — decrypted data is wiped when you lock or quit • Global search across everything, and export to PDF / CSV / TXT • Windows, macOS and Linux, light & dark theme Privacy first: it runs 100% offline, never writes to your backups, no account, no telemetry. It's MIT-licensed — fork it, improve it! Heads-up: builds aren't code-signed yet, so on first launch Windows SmartScreen / macOS Gatekeeper will ask you to confirm (steps are on the site). I'd love your feedback and feature ideas. Thanks for checking it out!
