## Description

Your music library is a journal — years of exploration, shifting taste, precious memories, playlists you've lived inside. Hezel keeps it all safe. Back up your entire library — songs, playlists, and music videos — in seconds, and restore it with a tap if anything disappears. Park your library when you take a break from Apple Music, or AirDrop a backup to another device and restore it exactly as it was. Start fresh without losing the playlists you care about, and revisit past backups and Replay playlists right in Hezel.

Hezel Ultra goes further: automatic backups in the background every few days, export backups as CSV for data analysis, and smart backup management with bookmarks and storage limits. Heads up: restoration works for music added from Apple Music or matched by iTunes; MP3s added through iTunes cannot be recovered.

## Review summary

Users overall praise Hezel for fast, reliable backups of large Apple Music libraries and a simple, safe, Time Machine-like experience. They value the clear UI, affordability, and responsive support. Common drawbacks include unreliable auto-backups, incomplete backups (omitting smart playlists/folders), occasional crashes with big libraries or during restore, and storage-management quirks that require manual cleanup.

### Pros

- Fast backups for large Apple Music libraries (works well with thousands of songs)
- Simple, focused UI that makes backing up and recovering playlists easy
- Time Machine-like protection with peace of mind and strong developer support
- Good value and reasonably priced; no ads; clear upgrade options

### Cons

- Auto-backup is inconsistent and often not running as expected
- Not all playlists are backed up (smart playlists and folders may be skipped)
- Crashes or freezes when handling large libraries or during restore
- Backup/storage management can be unreliable (memory not fully cleared; manual cleanup needed)
- Recovery can fail or take a long time for large libraries
