Krypt Ghost Guide: Free iPhone Location Spoofer for PC & Mac

• Pick any location on a map and set it on your iPhone.
• Search for places worldwide.
• Custom routes and movement simulation between points.
• Save favourite locations to switch back quickly.

Krypt Ghost runs on your computer and controls an iPhone connected to it.

1. Open the Krypt Ghost page on krypt.cc. That page is the only official download; copies re-uploaded elsewhere can be modified.
2. Pick the build for your system (Windows, macOS or Linux).
3. Read and accept the Software Download Terms in the prompt. The file downloads as soon as you agree, and you won't be asked again for that tool until the terms change.
4. Optional but sensible: upload the file to VirusTotal before you run it.

Windows

1. Run the installer you downloaded.
2. If Windows SmartScreen says "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway. Krypt builds aren't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen treats them as unrecognised apps. That warning is about the missing signature, not about anything it found in the file.
3. Follow the installer, then launch Krypt Ghost from the Start menu or the desktop shortcut.

macOS

1. Open the download and drag Krypt Ghost into your Applications folder.
2. The first time you open it, macOS blocks it because it's from an unidentified developer. Click Done, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway next to Krypt Ghost. On macOS 14 and older you can instead right-click the app and choose Open.
3. If macOS instead says the app "is damaged and can't be opened", the file isn't damaged: Gatekeeper is refusing an unsigned download. Clear its quarantine flag once in Terminal, then open the app again:

xattr -cr "/Applications/Krypt Ghost.app"

If you saved the app somewhere other than Applications, drag it from Finder into the Terminal window after xattr -cr to paste its real path.

Linux

The Linux build is an AppImage: one file, nothing to install. Make it executable, then run it:

chmod +x ./*.AppImage
./*.AppImage

Or right-click it in your file manager, tick Allow executing file as program in Properties, and double-click it.

1. Plug the iPhone into your computer with a data-capable USB cable. Some charge-only cables won't work.
2. Unlock the phone and tap Trust when it asks whether to trust this computer.
3. On recent iOS versions, location simulation needs Developer Mode (Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode). Turn it on if Krypt Ghost asks; the phone restarts to apply it.
4. On Windows, the iPhone has to be recognised by Apple's device drivers. If Krypt Ghost can't see it, installing Apple's Apple Devices app or iTunes usually provides them.
5. Open Krypt Ghost and select your iPhone.

• Single location: search or click a point on the map and apply it. Open Maps on the phone to confirm.
• Route: set start and end points (and stops in between) and start the simulation. The phone moves along the route.
• Favourites: save locations you use for testing so you can switch in one click.

To go back to your real location, stop the simulation in Krypt Ghost. Restarting the iPhone also clears it.

Krypt Ghost changes the location the iPhone reports, but some apps check where you are in other ways too, such as your network or nearby Wi-Fi. Results vary from app to app, and an app that cross-checks may ignore the spoofed location or flag the account.

• Use routes at a realistic speed when testing apps that track movement. Instant jumps across the world look nothing like real use.
• Testing location features in your own app? Save each test location as a favourite.
• Pair it with Krypt VPN if you also want to change the network location your traffic appears from.
