Skippy

First, plug in your iPhone

Use a data cable (the one that came with the phone works). Unlock it, and tap Trust if it asks.

One-time setup on the phone: Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode, turn it on, and let the phone restart. The switch only appears after the phone has been plugged into a computer once.

Nothing is installed on the phone and no jailbreak is needed. Skippy uses the same hook Apple gives developers for testing apps.

Teleport anywhere

Click a spot on the map — or search a place, or paste coordinates — then press Teleport here. Open Maps on the phone and you're there.

Star a spot to keep it in Favourites. Places you've been to show up under Recent.

Walk or drive a route

In Route, click the map to add stops. Skippy follows real roads and paths between them. Pick a speed — walk, jog, cycle, drive — and press Start route. Pause or stop any time.

Turn on Natural GPS wobble so the track looks like a real phone, not a ruler line.

Or steer live with the joystick

In Joystick, drag the pad that appears on the map, or hold W A S D. Let go to stand still.

Good to know: the location holds only while the cable is in and Skippy is open. Unplug, close the app, or press Restore real GPS and the phone goes back to normal in a few seconds.
