Example prompts

  • “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

Open the TapKit connector under Customize and reconnect it.
Check that the Mac app is open and signed in, and isn’t showing a setup message for the phone. Ask Claude to “list my phones” to see what TapKit sees.
Unlock the phone and check that it’s still plugged in. If the Mac app shows a problem with the phone, fix that first.
