APFS for Windows

Apple File System (APFS) is a new file system for macOS, iOS, and Apple devices. If you work on a Windows-based computer and want to read and write files on APFS-formatted HDD, SSD or flash drive, you need APFS for Windows by Paragon Software.

• Supports APFS volumes created in macOS 12 Monterey
• Detects volumes encrypted by FileVault

When volumes are mounted in the Write mode, you get full access to an APFS for PC volume with the options to edit files, create new files or delete existing files.

Please keep in mind that the write access is only available in beta mode. Mounts supported volumes automatically at startup, so you don’t need to bother about it each time you restart the operating system or power your computer on.

However, this feature can be disabled at any moment in the program interface. Download APFS for Windows Now!

Supports all character sets supported by your operating systems, including those that use non-Roman characters, so you will never face a problem of not getting access to file names on volumes mounted in non-native OS.

You can read, copy, and rename this type of file, but not write, modify, create, or delete. Find more information about the app cloned files at https://developer.apple.com/.
