Amnesty International provides a FOSS tool to check your mobile backups for traces of the Pegasus Spyware. I’d trust that over a sketchy proprietary app. Link: https://docs.mvt.re/.

You can use pip to install the tool.

it’s call mvt

Your package manager might have it.

If you’re on a Mac just use brew to install it.

Don’t use this third party app.
