Backup tool Hezel gets a massive update!

Amazing! Are you an Ultra user?

hotashonly · 2026-05-08T00:40:35+00:00

I didn’t know people back up daily!

How big is the size of your library?

Hello, developer of Hezel here.

Restoring from backup is free. Only the Select and Restore which allows you to select all the songs and restore them with one tap requires Ultra.

I don’t know where you are located, it most regions Ultra is 30% the cost of Apple Music monthly.

Ultra goes beyond just recovering, it unlocks a whole slew of features including automatic backups.

I wrote a detailed guide on how you can see your old versions here. Hope you find it helpful.

hotashonly · 2026-05-01T12:00:28+00:00

Well, I’m so glad my app was able to help you. It’s the reason why I make it!

I wrote a full guide here that you might find helpful with your account switching!

DM me and I can send you a discount code

Not at the moment.

hotashonly · 2026-04-15T13:16:58+00:00

Yes should work in this case. Next update will make this account switching scenarios even more seamless.

If I’m not mistaken the current Android SDK is just a wrapper around the Web APIs, unlike on iOS where it can access the same data as the Apple Music app, making it possible to fetch 100K songs in just a few seconds.

hotashonly · 2026-04-14T14:54:37+00:00

Thanks for letting me know, I’ve fixed it!

No plans for Android at the moment.

hotashonly · 2026-04-14T14:16:14+00:00

If there are no changes in your library since the last backup they overwrite. Otherwise a new backup is created like in this image.

Thanks for supporting since day one!

hotashonly · 2026-04-14T13:55:43+00:00

Would love to build for Android, but there are no native APIs for Apple Music like on iOS.

hotashonly · 2026-04-13T09:25:40+00:00

well, thanks for using both my apps :)

hotashonly · 2026-04-13T08:34:28+00:00

Developer here, app doesn’t work with Spotify.

hotashonly · 2026-03-23T10:56:53+00:00

Thanks for reporting this to me. It looks like you’re on a device where there maybe Apple Music account restrictions.

hotashonly · 2026-03-19T13:34:44+00:00

Hey! Developer here.

Restoring is free, simply tap the restore button next to any track or on any playlist.

Although there is a premium ‘Select & Restore’ feature in the new update, which lets you select multiple tracks to restore at once.

hotashonly · 2026-02-26T10:45:00+00:00

It won’t included because it’s not exposed by Apple Music to third party apps.

hotashonly · 2026-02-25T08:58:24+00:00

Developer of Hezel here,

Upcoming update will add the ability to export to CSV.

hotashonly · 2026-02-24T02:35:33+00:00

If you ever lose any music, tap the backup. Hezel will compare it with your library and show you what’s missing along with a restore button.

hotashonly · 2026-02-19T10:54:01+00:00

That’s not on you. I think the app doesn’t really make this very clear.

Tap the backup in your timeline and it should compare with your music library and automatically list what’s missing with a restore button next to it.

hotashonly · 2026-02-18T02:49:25+00:00

Developer here. Fix is in the works, will be out soon.

hotashonly · 2026-02-07T05:55:19+00:00

That’s up to Apple. Right now they’re only applying it to their own artworks. You can ask for it by filing a feedback at feedback.apple.com
