FAQs

GhostMe plans a route with Apple Maps on your Mac, then asks Apple’s Xcode device service to simulate those coordinates on a connected iPhone. You can preview routes without changing location, and a license is checked only when you start a simulation.

GhostMe works with an iPhone or iPad that Apple’s developer tools can pair with your Mac. The device must be unlocked, trusted, and have Developer Mode enabled. USB is best for the first pairing.

A Mac running macOS 15 Sequoia or later and Xcode 16 or later. Xcode supplies Apple’s device-control service; GhostMe does not install a private driver or a device profile.

No. GhostMe uses Apple’s supported development workflow. It does not jailbreak the phone, modify iOS, or install a VPN or configuration profile.

Yes. Pick a walking or driving route, choose a playback speed, and GhostMe sends the route to the selected development device. You can also set the destination instantly when a full route is unnecessary.

No. Stop & Restore Location clears the developer override and iOS returns to its real location. Rebooting or disconnecting from the development session also clears it.

Yes. Search, map browsing, connected-device status, and route planning remain available. GhostMe asks for a license only when you start route playback or set a location instantly.

No. Every checkout option in the current pricing test is a one-time purchase for the same lifetime license. There is no renewal or feature difference between variants.

GhostMe is testing three one-time prices to learn what customers consider fair. A browser is assigned one price and keeps it. All variants unlock exactly the same lifetime license for up to three Macs.

Up to 3 Macs at a time. Deactivate a Mac inside GhostMe or remove it from Polar’s customer portal to free a slot.

The map and route search need a connection. An activated license can tolerate a temporary network outage for up to 14 days, so a brief Polar outage does not lock out a customer.

Apple receives map searches and route requests through MapKit. Polar receives the license key, a Mac label, and a hardware identifier used to enforce activation limits. PostHog receives anonymous website conversion events when configured. Route coordinates stay between your Mac, Apple’s frameworks, and your connected device.

Only for authorized development, QA, demonstrations, or troubleshooting on accounts and devices you control. Do not use GhostMe to deceive people, evade safety features, falsify work, manipulate fares, or violate an app’s terms.

Yes, within 14 days of purchase. Email support with the purchase email or order reference. A refunded license is revoked by Polar.

Mac App Store sandboxing does not expose the Xcode device-control workflow GhostMe needs. The direct build is signed and notarized for distribution outside the store.
