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

The first copy goes over the cable. After that, turn on Wi-Fi in Settings and ScribeHold picks up new messages once a day over your home network, while the PC is on. Apple asks for the passcode each time, so the prompt on your phone is the sign that day’s copy has started. Ignore it and nothing breaks. ScribeHold tries again tomorrow.

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.
