About

threadOS

Features
Read full description

threadOS is a searchable reference manual for digital forensics examiners. It explains where forensic artifacts live, what format they use, how to parse them, and what evidentiary value they may carry. Built for fast casework lookups: • 1,012 artifact entries, 241 app profiles, and 93 concept articles. • Search across artifacts, apps, and concepts. • Copy paths with one tap and export clean citations for case reports. • See the OS version each entry was documented against. • Keep bookmarks, recents, and saved citation collections on device. Access: • Every Linux entry is included at no charge, so you can judge the reference before you buy. • Complete Library is one nonconsumable in app purchase that unlocks iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Windows, and every other platform in the library. There is no subscription. • If you first installed threadOS 1.1, your iOS and iPadOS entries stay free after Apple verifies your original acquisition. Customers who acquired threadOS before version 1.1.0 keep complete access. Private by design: • The entire corpus ships inside the app. Searches, views, bookmarks, and citations stay on device. • No telemetry, analytics, accounts, advertising, or app backend. • StoreKit contacts Apple only for product information, purchase, restore, and access verification. threadOS does not send purchase data to tumiOS. • Reference content remains available offline after Apple verifies access. threadOS is a reference manual, not a toolbox. It is published by tumiOS LLC.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: World Map + at none against threadOS's 1. threadOS's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
