iPhone Backup Extractor 5.8.1.398 released
OMG! Today's release is a massive step forward for Mac users. We felt bad about the delay in releasing iCloud functionality on macOS last year, so we've really upped our game on macOS as a consequence. We're really a brand-new, extra-spiffy UI for Mac users today. Windows users might be jealous.
Backup navigation is now on the left-hand side of the app, and there's a new "Preferences" window. Backups can be searched for in multiple locations, and it's possible to add multiple iCloud accounts at a time. It's also possible to securely store your iCloud password in your Mac's keychain.

- Completely new installer and uninstallation system. Works like the old one, but uses a different framework. If you're interested in the technical details, we now use the MSI format. This can be a little slower, but it's what Microsoft recommend.
