Honest three-state integrity rating

✓ Looks intact △ May be partial ✕ Failed

No false hope.

Most recovery tools give you a list of files and then charge you before you find out whether any of them actually work. Unearth shows you a real, integrity-checked preview first. You see exactly what you are getting before a single byte is written.

Built to be trusted

🔒

Read-only by design

Unearth never writes to your source disk. Scans are strictly read-only, so recovering deleted files cannot accidentally overwrite the very data you are trying to save.

🔍

Trustworthy preview first

Before you commit to anything, Unearth shows you a real preview of each file with an honest three-state integrity rating: Looks intact, May be partial, or Failed. No guessing.

💾

Restore to a drive you choose

Recovered files go to a destination of your choosing — not back to the source disk. Pick a folder on your Mac, an external drive, or any mounted volume.

🌐

Fully offline

No account, no activation, no network connection. Your data stays entirely on your machine — Unearth makes zero network calls from the moment you launch it.

💰

Free direct download

No trial gate, no feature lock, no subscription. Download Unearth as a notarized Mac app and use every feature from day one at no cost.

🔌

FAT16 / FAT32 / exFAT

Recovers deleted files from SD cards and USB drives formatted as FAT16, FAT32, or exFAT — the formats most commonly used by cameras, dashcams, and older storage media.

What Unearth recovers (v1)

Version 1 recovers deleted files from FAT16, FAT32, and exFAT formatted drives — the file systems used by most SD cards, USB flash drives, and camera media. It does not yet support APFS, HFS+, NTFS, or ext4. If you are trying to recover files from your Mac's internal drive, Unearth is not the right tool for that yet.

Privacy, by design

Unearth makes zero network calls. No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking of any kind. Your files and your source disk are never transmitted anywhere. The app runs entirely offline — an internet connection is not required to install, activate, or use it.
