> **Warning:** This project uses private iOS APIs through pymobiledevice3. Compatibility can change with iOS updates. Use the preview and backup features before writing.

## Features

- Read apps, folders, web clips, and widgets, including localized names and bundle IDs.
- Render pages as text grids using the device's reported rows and columns.
- Edit a saved layout or make a direct change on the device.
- Create folders, including folders with multiple pages.
- Preview changes by default before applying a layout file.
- Refuse unknown IDs, accidental app removal, over-capacity pages, and widget displacement.
- Back up automatically before every write and verify the resulting layout and widgets.
- Restore complete backups, with a preview and a fresh safety backup.
