Everything you need to get started with Here.
Before you begin, make sure you have:
This only needs to be done once. After the initial setup, everything works wirelessly.
After creating your account, download the companion app from your dashboard. It's a small zip file (under 1MB). Unzip it anywhere on your Mac — your Desktop or Downloads folder works fine.
Double-click the file called Here.command. A Terminal window will open showing the setup progress. If macOS blocks it, go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy → click "Open Anyway".
Connect your iPhone to your Mac with a USB cable. The companion will detect it automatically. If your phone shows a "Trust This Computer?" popup, tap Trust and enter your passcode.
The companion will enable Developer Mode on your iPhone. You'll need to do this once:
The companion needs to start a secure tunnel to communicate with your iPhone's developer tools. Enter your Mac login password when prompted. This is stored locally and never leaves your computer.
The companion will mount developer tools on your iPhone. Your phone must be unlocked during this step. Once you see all green checkmarks, you're ready.
The companion will show you a URL like http://192.168.x.x:3456/spoof. Open this in Safari on your iPhone. Then tap the Share button (box with arrow) and tap "Add to Home Screen" to install it as an app.
After the first-time setup, here's how to use it day-to-day:
Use the search bar at the top of the map to find any city, address, or landmark. Tap a result to drop a pin there.
Tap anywhere on the map to place your target location. You can tap again to move the pin.
Once you've placed a pin, tap the green Teleport button. Your iPhone's GPS will immediately report the new location. All apps on your phone — Maps, Uber, Tinder, Snapchat, Find My — will see the spoofed location.
Tap the red Stop button to return to your real GPS location. Your phone will resume reporting its actual position.
The companion can't see your iPhone.
The secure tunnel to your phone's developer tools has stopped.
The developer image on your phone needs to be remounted.
Your phone is locked and can't receive the location change.
The spoofed location keeps reverting to your real GPS.
The command went through but didn't actually take effect.
Developer Mode doesn't appear in your iPhone settings.
macOS Gatekeeper is blocking the file.
This is normal. On the first launch, the companion installs Homebrew, Node.js, libimobiledevice, and pymobiledevice3. These are standard open-source tools. This only happens once — subsequent launches start in seconds.
Your phone was set up over USB but won't spoof wirelessly.
The URL shown in the companion doesn't work on your phone.
Does this work with all apps?
Yes. Here changes your actual device GPS coordinates at the system level. Every app on your phone sees the spoofed location — Apple Maps, Google Maps, Uber, Lyft, Tinder, Bumble, Snapchat, Instagram, Find My, Life360, Pokemon Go, and any other location-based app.
Does my Mac need to stay on?
Yes. The companion app on your Mac maintains the spoofed location. If you close it or shut down your Mac, your phone returns to its real GPS position.
Do I need to keep my phone plugged in?
Only for the first-time setup. After that, everything works wirelessly over WiFi. Just make sure both devices are on the same network.
Will Apple detect this?
This uses Apple's own developer tools — the same system that app developers use to test location-based features. It doesn't modify your phone's software or void your warranty.
Can I get banned from apps for using this?
Some apps (like Pokemon Go) have anti-spoofing detection and may flag unusual movement patterns. Use responsibly and avoid teleporting across large distances instantly. Most social and dating apps do not detect location spoofing.
Does this work on Android?
Not currently. Here is designed for iPhone only.
Does this work on iPad?
Yes, if your iPad has cellular/GPS capability (WiFi-only iPads don't have GPS).
How do I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel anytime through Stripe. Your subscription remains active until the end of your billing period. No refunds are issued for partial months.
Is my data private?
Yes. The companion app communicates directly between your Mac and your iPhone over USB or local WiFi. No location data passes through our servers. We never see or store where you teleport. See our Privacy Policy for details.
