Clean your iPhone and Start New with Decipher Phone Refresh

Keep the data that’s important to you. Leave the garbage behind. Get rid of “Other” space!


  • The free trial never expires and requires no payment. It’s free!
  • The free trial will let you filter a backup for Health/Activity data and Apple Watch data.
  • To add other kinds of data to your filtered backup, you would need to upgrade to the paid version.
  • After purchasing the full version you’ll be sent a license code to unlock all the features.

We're very excited to have had Decipher Phone Refresh (previously named Decipher Activity Transfer) featured on iDownloadBlog.com!

Decipher Phone Refresh is the right tool for you if:

  • You want to restore only some of your backup, like Text Messages, Contacts, Photos, and specific App Data.
  • You'd like to keep your iPhone data, but want to get rid of old cruft, settings, and cache files bogging down your iPhone's performance.
  • You're having issues with your iPhone's battery life, and you'd like to pare down to only the essentials, without losing your important iPhone data.
  • You were told not to restore your backup by Genius Bar/Apple Support because there are buggy settings in the backup.

Get started in four easy steps:

  1. Install Decipher Phone Refresh

    Click our download button above, and then open the downloaded file to start the installation.

  2. Make a backup of your iPhone.

    We recommend encrypted backups, since they contain important your health/activity data and are more secure.

  3. Run Decipher Phone Refresh.

    Decipher Phone Refresh will create a clone backup from your original with only items you select to keep.

  4. Restore the cleaned iPhone backup.

    Restore the cleaned backup like you would any normal backup. Select "Setup as New" in iTunes after the restore completes and setup your iPhone as a fresh device.
