iDescriptor Brings iPhone Management to Linux (linuxiac.com)

iDescriptor is a brand-new app that introduces a new way for Linux users to manage iPhones without relying on macOS or iTunes, something that the Linux ecosystem has always lacked.

The project consolidates several capabilities that previously required separate command-line tools or weren’t available at all, turning them into a graphical, cross-platform application that is available for Linux as an AppImage.

Written in C++, iDescriptor is built on top of the libimobiledevice stack and extends it with features that are typically difficult to access from Linux systems. Users can browse their device’s filesystem, import photos and videos, and install applications directly from the App Store using their Apple ID.
