idevice_pair is a free, open-source desktop application for generating and managing pairing records between computers and Apple devices. It supports iPhones, iPads, and compatible Apple TV devices through USB or wireless connections. Users can create lockdown pairing records or remote pairing files for supported devices. Generated records can be saved locally or transferred directly into compatible iOS applications. The application includes validation tools for checking whether pairing files function correctly. Device management controls provide access to Developer Mode and wireless debugging settings. Automatic device detection uses usbmuxd for supported USB and existing wireless connections. Built with Rust, idevice_pair runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
