Data Rescue

The program scans selected drives, lists files that can be recovered, and then restores them. It supports internal and external storage such as HDDs, SSDs, USB flash drives, SD cards, and CompactFlash, handling loss caused by emptying the Trash, formatting, system crashes, or drives that fail to mount. Users can choose a quick scan for obvious deletions or a deep scan for more thorough recovery, and a preview mode lets them verify recoverable items before committing to restoration.

Target users include individuals and professionals who need to retrieve accidentally deleted or otherwise lost files on macOS and Windows systems. The tool works with a broad range of file types, covering documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, audio, video, image, and design formats. It also offers a free trial that allows scanning and previewing up to 1 GB of data for new users.

Distinctive aspects are the single license that covers both macOS and Windows, ongoing free patches while a subscription is active, and an advanced mode that provides deeper scanning options and file‑format support. The software lists compatible with Apple Silicon (M1/M2) and macOS versions from Sierra through Ventura.
