rusbmux

rusbmux is a modern, drop-in replacement for usbmuxd, written in pure Rust.

Why use this?

• Works with your existing tools - libimobiledevice, idevice, 3uTools, iTunes, etc. work without changes
• Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux
• WiFi support - connects to devices on your network automatically
• Safer & faster - pure Rust, no C dependencies

Installation

Linux

Cargo

cargo install rusbmux

Arch Linux (AUR)

paru -S rusbmux-git

Running

Systemd

If installing with cargo, copy the service file from the repository into systemd first:

sudo cp systemd/rusbmux.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/rusbmux.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Then enable and start it:

sudo systemctl enable --now rusbmux

Direct execution

sudo rusbmux

Current limitations (for now)?

• Not as battle-tested as usbmuxd
• Android / FreeBSD not yet supported
• ARM / 32-bit systems not yet tested
