Your iPhone’s location, set from your Mac.

Yes. During the public beta, Locaflip is free with every feature until December 31, 2026. You don’t enter a payment card, and there’s no subscription that could renew.

Beta license keys work until December 31, 2026 and then stop working. After that, Locaflip will be offered as a paid subscription; we’ll announce the paid version on this website. Nothing is charged automatically — you decide whether to subscribe.

Your license key is personal: we create it for your email address and send it there, so we can also send it again if you lose it. We don’t send marketing emails, and we don’t share your address for marketing. See the Privacy Policy.

During the free beta, Locaflip isn’t notarized by Apple yet, so macOS asks you to confirm it once. Click Done in the message, then Open Anyway in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Step-by-step instructions

It does what people usually mean by those names, but it isn’t an app on your iPhone. Locaflip is a Mac app: it uses Apple’s developer location-simulation service — the one behind Simulate Location in Xcode — to set the GPS location of the iPhone connected by cable. Apps that read your location through iOS location services then receive the simulated coordinates. It’s built for development, testing, demos, and privacy, not for deceiving people.

Yes. Locaflip doesn’t jailbreak anything and installs nothing on your iPhone. You need an iPhone with iOS 17 or later, Developer Mode turned on, a USB cable, and a Mac with macOS 14 or later.

Locaflip changes the location that iOS location services report, so apps that ask iOS for your location get the simulated one. We can’t promise how a particular app behaves: apps can detect or forbid simulated locations, and some combine location with other signals, such as your IP address. Check the terms of the apps you use. We haven’t designed or tested Locaflip for Find My or location sharing.

Developer Mode is an iOS setting that gives access to developer services — including the location simulation that Xcode also uses. Turn it on in Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode. Your iPhone restarts, and then you confirm.

Sometimes the setting appears only after the iPhone has been connected to a Mac with developer tools. Step-by-step guide

No. Nothing is jailbroken, and no app or profile is installed on your iPhone. Locaflip uses Apple’s developer interface for location simulation. Click Reset location, and your iPhone immediately returns to its real location. You can turn Developer Mode off again at any time.

You need a Mac. The simulation runs through it, so the Mac has to stay on and connected to your iPhone, with Locaflip open. Wi‑Fi support is in the works — you’ll still need the Mac.

Two at the same time. When you switch Macs, choose Deactivate this Mac in Locaflip Settings on the old one and enter your key on the new one. If you no longer have the old Mac, contact us.

On the Lost license key page, enter the email address you signed up with, and we’ll send the key again.

Only what we need to issue and verify your license: your email address and, when you activate a Mac, an anonymous fingerprint of it, its name, and the app version. We keep your IP address for a short time to prevent abuse.
