For your own archive

Every message you’ve ever sent, searchable in seconds

ScribeHold copies your iPhone messages onto your Windows PC. Search by name, by date, or by a phrase you half remember. Find the photo your sister sent five years ago without scrolling for twenty minutes.

An archive that maintains itself

Search everything at once

One search covers every kind of message you have: iMessage, SMS, MMS, and RCS. Years of conversation, answered in seconds.

Keeps itself current

Plug in the cable and tap your passcode. Apple requires that on iOS 16.1+, every time. After that it works in the background and only picks up what’s new.

Reads like your phone

Conversations browse in order with the timestamps that were on the device, and you can pin the threads you come back to.

Stays on your PC

Your messages are read and stored on this machine, and they stay there.
