# Claude (App)

> Control iPhones from Claude Chat, Cowork, and Code

You can use TapKit in any of the Claude apps — it works in Chat, Cowork, and Code. To get started, you'll set it up through the Claude app in either Cowork or Code.

## Step 1: Add the TapKit plugin marketplace

1. Open **Cowork** in the Claude app.
2. In the left sidebar, click **Customize**.
3. Go to **Personal Plugins** and click the **+** button.
4. You'll see a popup with **Browse Plugins** and **Create Plugin** — hover over **Create Plugin**.
5. Click **Add Marketplace**.
6. In the popup, paste the following:

```
jootsing-research/tapkit-plugins-claude
```

## Step 2: Install the TapKit plugin

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Claude says TapKit isn't connected">
    Make sure the TapKit Mac app is running with a phone connected. You may need to re-authenticate the plugin.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Actions are timing out">
    Check that your phone is awake and the screen is on. Switch Control must be enabled on the iPhone. If the Mac app shows the phone as disconnected, unplug and replug the USB cable.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Phone not showing up in available devices">
    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.
