TV Time Backup Extractor v0.2.0 adds a native privacy-conscious macOS recovery workflow and a source-bound Python CLI release.
macOS:
- Requires macOS 14 or later.
- Apple silicon Macs use the arm64 DMG.
- Intel Macs use the x86_64 DMG.
- Both applications and DMGs are Developer ID signed, notarized, stapled, Gatekeeper-accepted, and bound to the tagged source commit.
- Verify the downloaded DMG against SHA256SUMS before installation.
Privacy:
- Recovery is local and uses an authorized completed encrypted iOS backup.
- Recovered reports and normalized tables are highly sensitive; keep them on private encrypted local storage.
- The application does not upload recovered data and has no network telemetry.
- Opening reports may add private filenames to browser, viewer, or Recent Items history.
- PDF is optional and may be omitted when exact text fidelity cannot be guaranteed; Markdown and offline HTML remain canonical.
Python CLI:
- Supports Python 3.10 through 3.13.
- Full encrypted-backup recovery is supported on macOS and Linux.
- Windows supports analysis and report rebuilding from an existing completed extraction only.
Cache-derived history may be incomplete when TV Time data was not present in the selected backup. See the README and platform guides before recovery.
