NO ADS. EVER.
We believe a utility app should do its job without getting in your way. UnFox will never show you ads, banners, pop-ups, or nag screens. There is no "free trial" that expires. There are no features locked behind a paywall. Extraction is free, today and always.
YOUR FILES. YOUR PRIVACY.
UnFox does not collect any data. No analytics. No tracking. No network connections. Your files stay on your device and are never uploaded anywhere. We do not know what you extract, when you extract it, or how often you use the app. That is how it should be.
