Bring back a file from where the device keeps downloads, or list them

Downloads a file from where the device keeps what a person downloads — Android's shared Download folder, or on iOS an app's own Documents — to this machine, to check what an app saved. With no name, lists the folder. The copy's size is read back against the device's, a real iPhone's included.

--device-path brings back a file or a whole folder from a path you name instead — the paths upload takes — to -o, or ./. A folder goes to a new folder, never into one already there.

Usage

mobium download [name] [flags]

Flags

Flag	Type	Default	What it does
--app	string		iOS: the app whose Documents, or with --device-path whose container; Android with --device-path: the app whose private data
--device-path	string		bring back the file or folder at this path on the device
--output -o	string		where to save it (default: ./)

And the global flags.

Examples

Bring back a file an app saved

mobium download mobium-report.txt -o report.txt

Printed on an Android 15 emulator:

downloaded mobium-report.txt from Download/mobium-report.txt to …/report.txt (44 bytes) — confirmed by the copy's size read back against the device's

The Files Demo's Download the report saved mobium-report.txt in the Download folder, and the line under it says how big and which save it was; mobium download brought that file back — on an Android 15 emulator

List what the folder holds

the Download folder holds 1 file
  mobium-report.txt                                44 bytes  2026-09-29 03:41
