Best app to transfer and backup iPhone to Mac [Aanbieding]

Many iPhone users encounter the same problem: the storage is suddenly full. A few dinners with family, short trips, high-quality photos and videos — plus an iOS update — it all happens faster than you think.

What you actually want is very simple: a safe and easy way to back up everything before you have to free up space or switch to a new iPhone. Finder that freezes halfway through, iCloud that asks for a paid subscription again while your storage is already full, and iTunes that has had its day. That’s usually the moment when the familiar frustration returns: how do you move years of photos, videos and messages without risking data loss?

Apple’s own tools work at their own pace, rarely at yours. Meanwhile, your 4K video library grows, your storage fills up, and sync freezes. This increasing dependence on the cloud and Apple’s closed ecosystem means that more and more users are looking for a local, faster and more reliable alternative. DearMob iPhone Manager offers just that: complete control over your iPhone data, without compromise.

An all-in-one alternative to Apple’s ecosystem

DearMob iPhone Manager positions itself as a practical alternative to Apple’s official tools. Instead of switching between Finder, iTunes, and iCloud, it brings together backup, restore, transfer, and everyday file management in one uncluttered interface.

Fully compatible with iOS 26 and the complete iPhone 17 lineincluding Pro, Pro Max and Air models, DearMob takes a local-first approach that puts you in control of your files. Speed, flexibility and security are central, while the interface remains simple even for non-technical users.

Special offer: the software is currently available with 62% discount on lifetime licenseincluding three bonus gifts.

Smart backup and restore

Backups are at the heart of DearMob. You can perform a full device backup in one click, or perform selective backup—ideal for everyday use. Export photos from a specific album, archive messages from a specific period, or back up only recent videos without copying everything.

Restoring existing data is retained, unlike iTunes which often requires a factory reset. External drives and SSDs are supported and optional encryption protects sensitive data.

Transfer and manage photos

Photo management works both ways: from iPhone to computer and from computer to iPhone. Files are easily organized by album, date or custom folders.

Formats such as HEIC, ProRAW, JPEG and PNG are transferred in original quality, without quality loss. Whether you’re exporting your entire photo library or just a selection, the process is smooth.

Videos and music without restrictions

Video and audio files are also given the same freedom. Music can be imported and exported freely, while large 4K videos can be compressed directly if necessary.

Unsupported formats are automatically converted and DRM restrictions are removed at no additional cost. Even large libraries are transferred quickly, without the long wait times you often see with Finder.

Complete file management

In addition to photos and videos, DearMob also manages contacts, text messages, calendars, eBooks, custom ringtones, voice memos, and podcasts. Import and export work seamlessly between iPhone, iPad, and Mac or Windows computers.

Your iPhone can even act as a USB stick. Built-in conversion tools ensure files always remain compatible with iOS, including DRM removal with no hidden fees.

Security, privacy and performance

Safety is integrated into every function. Backups can be encrypted, all storage remains local and there is no mandatory cloud. The developer uses a clear no data collection policy.

The performance is also impressive: 100 4K photos are transferred in about 8 seconds, 100 songs in about 35 seconds and a 1 GB video in about 50 seconds. A clear comparison between the free and full version shows exactly what each edition offers.

Companies and IT administrators who manage multiple devices will also find a consistent solution here.
