{{#seo: |title= (Utilities) - GameBrew |title_mode=append |image=itemzflowps4.png |image_alt=ItemzFlow }} {{cleanup|article|Needs cleanup}} ItemzFlow is an open-source alternate menu for the PS4 with a beautiful interface. It offers additional functionality that is directly accessible for each game, such as a dumper, a possibility to access/activate patches and trainers, some repair tools (e.g., to avoid losing all of your fpkg content in case of PS4 data corruption), theme support, and more. ==Usage== === Settings === the ini file is either loaded by the app dir or from USB0 when the app is booted ==== Settings Layout ==== {| class="wikitable" |- !
