Setup, from plugging in to movingAbout 2 min
Routes that follow real roadsEvery route
  1. Step one

    Plug in your iPhone

    The app walks you through Developer Mode the first time, so you only do it once.

  2. Step two

    Pick a place

    Search an address or drop a pin. Everything on the phone follows along.

  3. Step three

    Press go

    Leave it there, or set it moving along a route. Unplug and it keeps working.

Quick & easy to use

Plug in your iPhone, drag a pin, done. Setup takes about two minutes, and the app walks you through Developer Mode the first time.

Changes location across apps

Find My, Maps, social and dating apps all see the location you choose — because it's set on the phone itself, not faked in one app.

Packed with features

Routes that follow real roads, journeys with stops, GPS drift and geofences — things the others charge far more for.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Every feature below is included in the one price. No tiers, no upsells.

Exclusive to Lindvara

Find & save places

Address search
Find any place by name, ranked by real distance from you — the road at the end of your street beats the one twenty miles away.
Bookmarks & favourites
Save the places you use often, and star the ones you want kept at the top of the list.
Location history
Everywhere you've been, one click away.

Simulate movement

Routes
Walk, cycle or drive along real roads, with a live ETA and a marker moving the whole way.
GPS drift
A perfectly frozen pin is a tell in itself. Lindvara nudges your position the way real GPS wanders.
Journeys
Plan a whole day of stops. Each leg picks its own way of travelling, and plays out in real time.
Scheduled changes
"Move me here in five minutes." Set it, carry on, cancel any time.

Blend in & stay in control

Geofence zones
Lindvara acts the moment you cross into or out of an area. Hands off, automatic.
Consistency checks
Local time, weather and conditions where you claim to be — and a warning when your Mac's clock gives you away.
Separate identities
Keep Work, Travel and Personal completely apart, each with its own places and journeys.
Activity log
Exactly when each change started and stopped, kept across restarts.
Offline map cache
Places you've already looked at keep working with no internet at all.
Emergency restore
One keystroke snaps you back to your real location, from any app.

Why people switch

The same core idea, a fraction of the price, and a lot more underneath.

Frequently asked questions

What is Lindvara?

Lindvara is an app for macOS that lets you change your iPhone's current location. It's useful for social media, dating apps, and location-based games — anywhere you'd rather not share exactly where you are.

How do I download it?

After subscribing you get access to the download page, where you can grab the Mac build. It's a standard .dmg — open it, drag Lindvara to Applications, and you're set.

How do I connect my iPhone?

Use a normal iPhone charging cable. Plug your phone into your Mac, tap Trust on the phone, and enable Developer Mode once in Settings → Privacy & Security. Lindvara walks you through it on first launch, and you only do it once.

How does it work?

It uses the Developer Mode feature built into iOS — the same mechanism Apple provides to Xcode for simulating a location. Nothing is jailbroken and nothing is installed on your phone.

Does my location stay changed if I unplug my iPhone?

A pinned location does — it holds until your iPhone restarts. Routes, journeys and drift need the cable, because they send a new position every second. (Turning Developer Mode off before unplugging makes a pinned location stick most reliably.)

Is this affiliated with Apple?

No. Lindvara is not developed by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Apple Inc. iPhone and iOS are trademarks of Apple Inc.
