Put your iPhone anywhere on the map.
Skippy is a Mac app that changes your iPhone's GPS location in one click. Teleport, walk a route at a realistic pace, or steer live with a joystick — and switch back to your real location whenever you like.
Three steps. No jailbreak, no app on the phone.
Skippy talks to your iPhone over the cable using the same location-simulation service Apple built for developers. Nothing is installed on the phone and nothing is changed permanently.
Plug in your iPhone
Connect with a USB cable and tap Trust on the phone. Skippy finds it automatically.
Pick a spot
Search an address, drop a pin, or choose a favourite. Hit Teleport and the phone is there.
Move, or stay
Draw a multi-stop route and walk, cycle or drive it at a natural speed, or steer with the joystick. Close Skippy and your real location comes back.
Built to feel real.
Instant teleport
Search any address or place and jump there in one click. Save favourites for places you use often.
Routes that follow roads
Multi-stop routes snap to real streets and paths. Choose walk, jog, cycle or drive — or set an exact speed.
Live joystick
Steer in real time with a heading and hold-to-move control. Pause, loop and resume whenever you want.
Natural movement
Realistic pacing and a touch of GPS jitter, so movement looks like a person rather than a teleporting robot.
Private by design
Everything runs locally on your Mac. Skippy only goes online to check your licence and look up addresses.
Signed & notarised
Skippy is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarised by Apple, so it opens like any other Mac app.

Questions
What do I need?
A Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later) running macOS 13 or newer, an iPhone, and a USB cable. Fully supported on iOS 17.4 and later and on iOS 16 and earlier. iOS 17.0–17.3 needs an extra setup step; the simplest fix is to update the phone.
Does it jailbreak or modify my iPhone?
No. Skippy uses Apple's own developer location-simulation service over USB. Nothing is installed on the phone, and your real location returns as soon as you stop Skippy or unplug.
How does the free trial work?
Start the trial at checkout — you'll get a licence key by email straight away. For 24 hours it's free; after that your yearly subscription begins at $29.99. Cancel any time during the trial from the link in your email and you won't be charged.
Can I use one licence on two Macs?
One licence is active on one Mac at a time. To move it, click the Licensed badge in Skippy on the old Mac and choose deactivate, then enter the same key on the new one.
Will it keep working after an iOS update?
Apple occasionally changes how location simulation works. Your subscription covers updates, and we push a fix as soon as one is needed. If a new iOS version isn't supported yet, we'll say so here.
Is this allowed?
Skippy is a tool. It's great for testing location features, protecting your privacy, or exploring apps as if you were elsewhere. Some apps and services forbid simulated locations in their terms, so check the rules of whatever you're using — that part's on you.
Refunds?
If Skippy doesn't work with your setup, email us within 14 days of your first payment and we'll sort it out. Details in our refund policy.
