GhostMe

Release notes

Every change to GhostMe, newest first.

v1.3.3

Latest

August 20, 2026

Fixes

  • GhostMe now opens even when its saved route history is damaged or unreadable. It used to close on launch instead.

v1.3.2

August 20, 2026

Fixes

  • Fixed a crash on the Turn On Developer Mode page. GhostMe quit the moment that page appeared, so setup could never be finished.

v1.3.1

August 7, 2026

New

  • Connected devices now read as something you can click, each with an iPhone or iPad glyph, a green check, and its iOS version.

v1.3.0

August 7, 2026

New

  • Set Location moved into the planner, beside the fields it depends on.
  • Devices are listed instead of hidden in a menu. Click one to pick it.
  • New app icon, now also the site favicon.

v1.2.0

August 7, 2026

New

  • The map leads. Set Location is the primary action and needs no route.
  • A hint says the map is clickable, and it disappears once you drop a pin.
  • GhostMe now carries the Location capability in its signature.

Fixes

  • Every reason macOS can refuse location access is shown beside the field instead of nowhere.

v1.1.2

August 7, 2026

Fixes

  • Use My Location always responds now, and a denial opens System Settings.
  • GhostMe detects being run from a DMG or Downloads, where macOS silently refuses location access.

v1.1.1

August 7, 2026

New

  • Turn On Developer Mode is a full-bleed page, with the iPhone screenshots filling the window.
  • Show Me Where asks your iPhone to surface the Developer Mode switch, and Turn It On For Me switches it on for you.

v1.1.0

August 7, 2026

New

  • Xcode is no longer required. GhostMe carries its own device runtime and talks to your iPhone directly.
  • Setup installs nothing on your Mac. Developer Mode on the iPhone is the only prerequisite left.
  • Works over USB or Wi-Fi, and needs no administrator password.

v1.0

August 7, 2026

New

  • Apple Maps search and turn-by-turn route planning.
  • Driving and walking playback on a connected iPhone.
  • Instant destination simulation and one-click location restore.
  • Built-in checks for pairing and Developer Mode.
  • Local recent-route history with adjustable playback speed.
  • Polar license activation.
