All-in-One macOS Dr.Fone Alternative One Native Mac App. Every Module Included. Zero Add-On Upsells.
Many utility toolkits advertise a base download and then charge separate subscriptions for Phone Backup, WhatsApp Transfer, and Data Extractor modules. iPhone Data Manager gives you all 8 modules in one transparent, native Apple Silicon app.
- 100% local
- Notarized by Apple
- No account needed
- Free to try
Why Mac users switch from modular toolkits to iPhone Data Manager.
You shouldn't have to buy three separate sub-licenses just to back up your iPhone to an external SSD, export a WhatsApp chat, and recover photos from a local backup.
No Fragmented Toolkit Fees
Backups, WhatsApp, Photos, SMS, Contacts & Files in one license.
Every paid plan of iPhone Data Manager unlocks all 8 modules together — and full local backups (even to external SSDs) are completely free.
100% Read-Only & Honest
No risky firmware modifications or misleading recovery promises.
iPhone Data Manager never attempts invasive jailbreak/DFU exploits. It safely reads your connected iPhone and decodes local MobileSync backups in strictly read-only mode.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Everything works locally on your Mac over direct USB or Wi-Fi pairing with zero cloud telemetry.
Do I have to pay extra for the WhatsApp export module?
Never. Unlike toolkits that sell WhatsApp Transfer, Phone Backup, and Data Recovery as separate add-ons, every paid plan in iPhone Data Manager includes all 8 modules.
Can it recover data if my iPhone won't turn on?
If you have an existing local backup on your Mac or external drive, iPhone Data Manager can open that backup folder directly without connecting the iPhone and extract your WhatsApp chats, photos, SMS, contacts, and files. If no backup exists and the hardware is dead, no software can read unpowered flash storage.
Does it require creating an online account?
No. You can download, back up, browse, and use the app without creating an account.
