What you bought with your Apple ID stays yours — even after the app is pulled from the store. iVerni is an app for your computer (Mac or Windows): it finds those apps on your iPhone and puts them back.
The same goes for apps the iPhone offloaded on its own to free up space, if they have since been pulled from the App Store. Connect the iPhone to the computer with a cable, press one button, and a couple of minutes later they are back and keep working indefinitely, just like apps installed from the App Store. It can also move a surviving app from one iPhone to another — through an .ipa file.

Some icons came over faded, with a little cloud on them. Tap one and you get “App no longer available” instead of the app. Most often it happens with apps that were pulled from the App Store: banks, VK, Avito and anything Apple or the developer took off sale. It also happens with old purchases and with apps the iPhone offloaded because you rarely used them.
The App Store will not help: what is not in the store does not exist for it. Apple, however, still keeps your copy — and hands it to whoever owns the purchase.
iVerni fetches exactly that copy and installs it right over the faded icon. Nothing to delete, nothing to hunt down by hand.
Fast, simple and clear — exactly what a move to a new iPhone calls for.
Plug the iPhone in and press one button. Nothing to configure, nothing to delete on the phone, nothing to look up by hand: the app finds the device, builds the list and puts the apps back.
The list is ready in seconds and an app is back on the phone in a minute or two. No backup required — no disk space, no hour of waiting before you can even start.
Every row carries an honest label — gone from the App Store, bought with another account — plus download progress in per cent and counters at the top. If something fails, the reason is in plain words, not an error code.
“Restore everything” walks the whole list on its own. Or press the button on a single row and only that app comes back.
Connect them in turn: the app recognises each device and warns you when it belongs to a different Apple ID. Family purchases are often scattered across accounts — switch in one click.
No configuration profiles on the iPhone, no background services, no Keychain entries. Changed your mind? Drag the app to the Trash.
Three more things it does for apps that are gone from the App Store.
The “Not on the iPhone” section lists apps that used to be on the phone and are now gone completely. If the one you need is not listed, add it by name, by its App Store page link or by its number.
The app is still on the iPhone but already removed from the store? Save its install file to the computer while Apple still serves it. It will be there for your next move. This does not count against the restore limit.
Have a saved app file — a copy made by iVerni, a file from an old iTunes library or a build from a developer? Drag it into the window: iVerni checks the file and installs the app on the iPhone.
The app is gone from the App Store but survived on another iPhone — your old one or someone close to you? iVerni saves it to an .ipa file and installs it on the iPhone you need.
The one it is installed on, and sign in to its owner's Apple ID.
Press “Save a copy” — the .ipa install file is now on the computer.
Connect it, open “From an .ipa file” and press “Install”.
The app runs under the Apple ID it was bought with: if the other iPhone uses a different Apple ID, it asks once for the owner's password on first launch. Your own Apple ID, purchases and data are not changed. More in the questions and answers.
From plugging in the cable to a working app — a couple of minutes.
The app is installed on a Mac or a Windows PC. Connect the iPhone to the computer by cable, unlock it and tap “Trust”. The app finds the device on its own and shows the list.
The one the apps were bought with. Your password goes straight to Apple's servers, and the two-factor code is entered right there.
The rest is automatic: your copy is downloaded and installed onto the iPhone, over the placeholder.
You will need: a Mac running macOS 14 or later, a cable, and the Apple ID the apps were bought with.
Typing your Apple ID password into someone else's app is a fair reason to pause. Here is what actually happens.
It does not download purchases behind the owner's back and it does not get around paying: Apple hands an app only to the Apple ID that owns it, and only the owner can sign in to it, with their own password and code.
It does not read your messages, photos or notes — it has no need for them and no access to them.
It does not send us your app names, your Apple ID or your device names.
You do not have to take our word for it. These simple steps protect your Apple ID with any third-party app, ours included:
Try it for free first — pay only if it actually did the job.
Pay from inside the app and the limit lifts by itself, right after payment — nothing to type in. The key still arrives by email: you will need it after a reinstall or on another Mac. Card details never reach us. Russian cards and SBP are accepted as well.
Being pulled ends the sale to new customers; it does not undo purchases already made. Apple still has the record that the app belongs to your account, and still hands that copy to its owner on request — which is exactly what iVerni asks for, the same way your iPhone would.
Yes. The app gets files only the ordinary Apple way: with the Apple ID the app was bought with, using the owner's password and code. No protection is circumvented and nothing is obtained without paying. An app belonging to someone close to you can be installed on your iPhone only with their involvement — they enter the password themselves.
No. The iPhone is left untouched — no profiles, no services, nothing added to it.
Yes, it has shipped and does the same job: get it on the download page. You need Windows 10 (64-bit) or 11 and the free Apple Devices app from the Microsoft Store — without it Windows cannot see an iPhone.
My name is Aleksandr Kirichenko. I am a programmer living on Koh Samui, Thailand. I first built iVerni for my own family. My wife Anna — a fitness coach many people know as Batmanmama — moved to a new iPhone, and the rest of us moved down the chain to her older ones. The new phones turned out to be missing some thirty apps: banks, VK, VK Video. For years I had brought such apps back with iMazing, one at a time and through backups. This time I wanted it done with one button. That is how iVerni came about.
I write it myself, and I answer the support emails myself too.
Payments by international card go through Stripe. Payments by Russian card and SBP are accepted by sole proprietor Anna Skublova — that is Anna. The Windows version is published by our company in Thailand, BATMAN FAMILY CO.,LTD. Write to us at support@iverni.me or to me on Telegram — @AleksKir123.
Download the app to your computer — a Mac or a Windows PC, connect the iPhone to it with a cable and look at the list. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
