When a drive gets formatted or a partition vanishes, the files don't disappear — the file system just forgets where they are. NexData reads the raw sectors directly, reconstructs what's still there, and lets you pull it back. Scan for free. Preview everything. Recover what matters.
Most recovery tools rely on the file system. When that's gone — formatted, corrupted, or just missing — they have nothing to work with. NexData doesn't need it.
Instead of asking the file system what's on the disk, NexData reads the physical sectors directly. It recognizes file types by their binary headers — JPEG, MP4, PDF, DOCX — and reconstructs them regardless of what the partition table says. This is how recovery works on drives that won't even mount.
Video files recovered from fragmented drives are almost always unplayable — the container headers get mangled during the recovery process. NexData's repair module takes a working reference clip from the same camera and uses it to rebuild corrupted headers, making the footage watchable again.
BitLocker, FileVault, APFS encryption — these aren't roadblocks as long as you have the recovery key. NexData can unlock the volume and run a full sector scan underneath the encryption layer, recovering files that were deleted before the drive was encrypted.
NexData doesn't call home. Ever. The scan results, file previews, and recovered files stay entirely on your machine. Nothing is transmitted, logged, or reported. If you're recovering sensitive documents — legal files, medical records, personal photos — this is the baseline you should expect.
Scan any drive and preview every recoverable file for free. Upgrade only when you need to actually pull files off the disk.
Install free. Scan your drive. Verify the files are intact before you spend anything.

We're an indie developer, so the initial builds aren't signed with Apple or Microsoft certificates yet. Your OS will show a standard security prompt — here's how to get past it:
xattr -cr "/Applications/NexData Recovery.app"No recovery tool can work miracles. Here's what to know upfront.
Once new data is written to the same physical sectors, the original content is destroyed at the hardware level. No software — ours included — can undo that. This is why you should stop writing to the drive the moment you realize files are missing.
If a drive has suffered mechanical failure — head crash, water damage, burned circuitry — software can't access the platters or chips. That requires a cleanroom and professional data recovery, which is a different service entirely.
Modern SSDs with TRIM enabled will erase deleted blocks in the background, usually within minutes. Once the controller zeroes a block, that data is physically gone. TRIM is on by default for most SSDs, which is why HDD recovery success rates are typically higher.
If a drive was encrypted with BitLocker, FileVault, or APFS encryption and you've lost the password and recovery key, the data can't be decrypted. No software can brute-force modern encryption in any reasonable timeframe.
These scenarios fall outside our refund policy. We recommend scanning with the free version first to confirm your files are actually recoverable.
The free version does a full scan and lets you preview every recoverable file — so you know exactly what you're getting before you pay.
