iMazing 3.6.1

iMazing

A Mac desktop manager for iPhone, iPad, and iPod that backs up devices locally, exports messages and media, and copies files in both directions without routing everything through iCloud or the Music app.

DigiDNA’s iMazing targets Mac users who need more control than Finder provides: scheduled wireless backups, browsing backups like folders, printing iMessage threads, and pulling photos or music off a device onto a computer. Connect over USB or Wi-Fi, pick a device from the sidebar, and work through dedicated views for photos, messages, music, apps, files, and diagnostics rather than a single sync checkbox.

Everyday Mac workflows

Quick Transfer drags documents, photos, and tracks onto an iPhone or iPad without a full library sync. Photo and video export bypasses iCloud limits when you need originals on disk. Message tools archive SMS, iMessage, and WhatsApp with attachments for personal records or compliance exports. Music transfer copies playlists and tracks both ways; version 3.6 added free iPod classic music sync that Apple’s modern apps no longer support according to the vendor.

Backups, apps, and advanced tools

Local backups can run on a schedule, keep snapshots, and target external drives or NAS shares. Manage Apps downloads IPA files to your Mac and installs them across registered devices. Business tiers add Unified Logs for Apple system log export, iMazing Configurator blueprints for fleet setup, CLI automation, and supervision tools. Version 3.5 brought screen recording over USB, file-system search in backups, and battery diagnostic exports on Mac.

Licensing and compatibility

iMazing offers a trial download with feature limits until you purchase a license from DigiDNA; business plans cover legal, IT, and enterprise deployment scenarios listed on the vendor site. The Mac app requires macOS 10.12 Sierra or later and supports iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Version 3.6.1 is a maintenance release that fixes Manage Apps authentication after a change on Apple’s servers.
