How to Use LocaRun on Mac for iOS Devices

Part 1. Connect

Step 1. Launch LocaRun

Download and install LocaRun on your Mac. Then choose “Start”.

Step 2. Connect Your Device

You can choose to connect your iOS device to the computer via USB or Wi-Fi.

Before connection, you need to choose your positioning mode: Game Mode or General Mode.

If you want to use LocaRun to modify your location while playing games like Pokémon Go, it is recommended that you select Game Mode. In this mode, the cooldown timer will be automatically enabled, protecting your account from being banned by the platform due to rapid location changes during gameplay. If you don’t have this concern, selecting General Mode will be sufficient for your daily location modification needs.

USB Connection: Connect your iOS device to the computer via a USB cable.

Then the system will install Apple Driver, which may take a moment.

After installation completes, enter your password to authorize LocaRun to make necessary changes.

Next, unlock your device. When prompted, tap “Trust” on your iPhone to Trust This Computer. Enter your screen passcode to complete the connection process.

Wi-Fi connection: Please note that for first-time setup, you must connect your device via USB cable. For subsequent connections, you can directly connect your iOS device to the computer when both are on the same Wi-Fi network. If your device doesn’t appear in the list, try toggling Wi-Fi off and on again.

For optimal Wi-Fi connection stability, keep your device display always on by navigating to “Settings” > “Display & Brightness” > “Auto-Lock” > “Never”.

Notice: In the Game Mode, you need to install PoGo Assistant on your device according to the instructions.

More Features

Game Controller

After connecting your game controller to the computer, you can use the game controller to control movement. Once the map has finished loading, click the “Game Controller” button.

Import GPX File

LocaRun supports importing GPX format files, allowing you to instantly locate your desired precise position.

Cooldown Timer

In Game Mode, the cooldown timer will be automatically enabled. This ensures your location changes remain within a reasonable time frame, preventing your account from being banned by the platform for changing locations too quickly.
