A bit more freedom
Get more out of your device.
SoftwareKit started as a way to bring helpful guides, utilities and resources together. It is for people who like exploring what their Apple devices can do.
A little more control over your Apple devices.
SoftwareKit brings iPA signing, sideloading guides and useful device tools together in one place. No account needed, just the tools and information you came for.
Made by an enthusiast, for enthusiasts.
I wanted a straightforward place for the tools and guides I use, without the extra noise.
Tools in one place
Less searching around.
Find signing tools, device information, Apple-related updates and sideloading resources in one clean, easy-to-use place.
Simple by design.
A familiar, uncluttered interface that keeps the useful stuff easy to find.
The tools you need, without the clutter.
Open a tool, get what you need, and get on with your day.
iPA signer
Sign iPA files with fewer steps.
Choose your file and follow the signing process without digging through a maze of menus.
Check certificate status.
Review your certificate details before trying to install an app.
Find your device details.
Check specifications, find your UDID and view useful device information in one spot.
Apple platforms
Made for iPhone, iPad and Mac.
The layout adapts to the screen you are using, so the tools stay easy to read and use whether you are on an iPhone, iPad or Mac.
Private by design
You should not have to hand over personal details just to use an app. SoftwareKit runs as a web app and is designed to avoid unnecessary permissions, accounts and advertising profiles. Your data should stay yours.

SoftwareKit has a place for current Apple devices and some older classics, too.
On iPhone and iPad.
Use the tools on your Apple device through an interface designed to feel at home on a smaller screen.
On Mac.
Make use of the extra screen space to browse resources and work with the tools comfortably.
For legacy iOS.
Older devices deserve some attention too. The legacy version supports iOS 4 through iOS 9.
A note about using AI
As a solo developer, I want to be open about how SoftwareKit is made. Some people have called it “vibe coded,” so I thought it was worth explaining where AI has helped and where the work is still mine.
I do not see AI as a replacement for understanding the code or making the decisions. I use it as a tool when I hit a problem or need a hand with something unfamiliar, then test and refine the result myself.
- Performance: AI helped me work through the performance improvements in version v3.2.
- More complex features: The iPA signer and AltStore repository support were developed with AI assistance, followed by testing and debugging.
- This landing page: AI helped with the initial design ideas, which I then revised and improved.
- Writing: I write most of the content and use AI to help polish the English, which is not my first language.
- CSS: I used AI as a second pair of eyes for some styling and compatibility improvements across Mac, iPad and iPhone.
AI-generated code rarely works perfectly on the first try. A lot of the work has been testing, debugging and rewriting until things behave as expected. The direction and decisions behind SoftwareKit are mine, and I continue to build and improve it myself.
