Example prompts

Try these to get started:
  • “Open Settings and take a screenshot”
  • “Go to Safari and search for flights to Denver”
  • “Open DoorDash and order from the first restaurant”
  • “Take a screenshot and tell me what apps are on the home screen”

​
Troubleshooting

Make sure the TapKit Mac app is running with a phone connected. You may need to re-authenticate the plugin.
Check that your phone is awake, unlocked, and still connected. If the Mac app shows the phone as disconnected, unplug and reconnect the USB cable.
If you have multiple phones, Claude may need to select the right one. Ask Claude to “list my available phones” and then specify which one to use.
