Mac App

The TapKit Mac app is the host that connects physical iPhones to your TapKit account, making them available to any integration — Claude, Codex, the API, or any MCP client. No Mac app running, no phone access.

Sidebar (left)

Status bar

Five indicators at the top of the sidebar show system status at a glance. Green means connected, yellow means connecting, and red means disconnected or off.

Gestures & Device Controls

Below the device list, you can switch between Gestures and Device tabs. Gestures shows touch gestures (tap, swipe, pinch, etc.) and Device shows device controls (home, lock, volume, etc.). You can trigger these manually by clicking them — useful for testing or quick one-off actions.

Switch Control

At the bottom left, the Switch Control section shows the connection status. When off, you can turn it on or open the Switch Control menu. When on, you get three buttons for interacting with Apple’s Switch Control directly — Next iterates through items, Select selects the current item, and Stop stops scanning. These are there as a convenience in case Switch Control gets stuck or you want to control it manually.

Phone view (center)

The center panel shows a live feed of the selected phone’s screen. During an active task, you’ll see the agent’s actions happen in real-time — taps, swipes, typing, and navigation. The screen updates continuously so you always know what the agent is doing and can intervene if needed.

​

Agent chat (right)

The right panel is a built-in agent interface. Type a natural language prompt — like “Open Settings and turn on Dark Mode” — and the agent will execute it on the phone. This is the fastest way to test TapKit without setting up any external integrations.

Settings

The settings window has four tabs: General, Phones, Account, and Script Logs.
