Plist Viewer and Editor

Plist Viewer opens Apple property list files on your Android phone — including the binary plists (bplist00) that every text editor shows as unreadable symbols — and turns them into a clean, searchable tree you can read, edit and convert.

Everything runs on your device. Your files are never uploaded.

OPENS EVERY KIND OF PLIST
• Binary plists (bplist00) — decoded instantly
• XML plists, including Info.plist, entitlements and privacy manifests
• Old-style OpenStep plists and .strings files
• JSON
• Configuration profiles (.mobileconfig), including signed ones
• NSKeyedArchiver archives, decoded into readable objects
• Base64 of a binary plist pasted from an email or chat
The format is detected from the content, so renamed or extensionless files open too.

READ IT CLEARLY
• Expandable tree with a type badge on every value
• Full value view: dates in local time and UTC, data as a hex dump and text, integers in hex
• Short explanations of common Apple keys (CFBundleIdentifier, NSCameraUsageDescription, UIBackgroundModes…)
• Search keys and values and jump to each match
• Copy a value, a key path like CFBundleURLTypes[0].CFBundleURLSchemes[0], or any branch as XML or JSON
• Text view showing the whole file as XML or JSON
• A plist stored inside a data value opens as its own file
• File info: format, size, object count and depth, plus a payload summary for configuration profiles

EDIT AND SAVE — FREE
• Add, delete, rename, duplicate and reorder keys and items
• Change a value's type (string, number, boolean, date, data, dictionary, array)
• Undo and redo
• Save back to the original file, or Save as binary plist, XML plist or JSON
• Share in any of those formats

COMPARE
• Compare two plists and see every added, removed and changed key — handy for checking what changed between two app builds.

PRIVATE AND OFFLINE
• No account, no sign-in
• No storage permission: the app reads only the file you choose
• Light and dark themes

Plist Viewer is free and supported by ads.
