Why Use It

Manual mobile app storage inspection is tedious and error-prone:
- String Extraction: strings generates noisy, hard-to-parse output.
- SQL Commands: sqlite3 requires complex syntax and error handling.
- Grep Searches: Crafting regex for grep is slow and yields overwhelming results.
- Objection Limits: Excels in runtime analysis but lacks robust static file inspection.
- Excel Struggles: Poor handling of large datasets, requiring complex schemas and filters.

MobApp-Storage Inspector solves these:
- Auto Strings: Instantly extracts readable text from binaries.
- Database Access: Browse SQLite tables without writing queries.
- Fast Search: Find files or content using plain English, no regex needed.
- Intuitive UI: Replaces command-line complexity with a graphical interface.
