Features

Everything hidden inside your .ipa, surfaced.

01

See every detail in any .ipa

12+ deep inspections at a glance. Info.plist, images, Lottie/Rive/Flare animations, fonts, audio, databases, strings, frameworks, plugins, signing, and SKAdNetwork tracking. Parsed instantly, no Terminal required.

02

Pull any iOS app from the App Store with your Apple ID

Sign in with full Apple ID 2FA. Snapshot the latest build or any historical version. One click to fetch, one click to analyze.

03

Diff versions side by side

N-way IPA comparison. Diff up to 3 versions across 12 dimensions including files, frameworks, binaries, sizes, entitlements, strings, plugins, and tech stack. A narrative engine summarizes every shift in plain English.

04

Know what any app is built with

Automatic stack detection. React Native, Flutter, Unity, Capacitor, SwiftUI, UIKit, Obj-C, CocoaPods, SPM, Firebase, Lottie, Rive, Flare, and dozens more. Zero configuration.

05

Push any .ipa to your iPhone in one click

Install over USB or WiFi. No Xcode, no iTunes, no provisioning. Auto-discovers connected devices, handles FairPlay DRM, checks storage and iOS version, then launches the app on success.

06

Hand off a PDF for any audience

Five export profiles cached for instant switching. Give a designer the asset atlas, a PM the executive brief, a security lead the entitlement audit, an engineer the full atlas.

Why fr0stbyte

Why teams choose fr0stbyte

iOS engineers cost $100+/hr. fr0stbyte turns 1-2 hours of manual unzip + class-dump into seconds.

  • Understand any competitor or partner app in minutes, not hours of manual unzipping, grepping, and guessing.
  • Track exactly what changed between releases with structural diffs across 12 dimensions: files, frameworks, binaries, entitlements, sizes, strings, and more.
  • Install the version you analyzed straight to your iPhone over USB or WiFi, FairPlay-encrypted apps included.
  • Keep everything local. AES-GCM-256 encrypted .fbt files unlock with your Apple ID, not the Mac, so signing in on a new machine restores your archive. Settings sync too, IPAs never do.
