Decipher TextMessage is software for saving your iPhone text messages to your Windows or Mac computer. Decipher TextMessage reads your text messages from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch backup, copying each text message and attachment for safe keeping, and then shows you the messages in an easy-to-read layout organized by contact. Within Decipher Textmessage, you can simply read your messages, or export them for printing or use elsewhere. Text messages are backed up by Decipher TextMessage, creating an ongoing archive of your texts for future use.

Decipher TextMessage runs locally on your computer so your message data stays private.
