Contact & Message Management: Offers the ability to edit, add, and delete contacts directly from your computer. You can also export SMS messages in various formats, making it easier to archive or review them.

The software employs clear icons and text, minimizing confusion. The layout is logically organized, with menus for device connection, data management, and settings. Overall, the UI is straightforward, even for users unfamiliar with similar software.

After installation, connecting your iOS device is also simple. You’ll need to unlock your iPhone/iPad, and trust the computer when prompted.
