Download Zeptap, check the Mac and iPhone requirements, and keep the app up to date.
Download
Download the latest signed and notarized build:
https://github.com/Zeptap/releases/releases/latest/download/Zeptap.dmgOpen the DMG, drag Zeptap to Applications, and open it. The setup assistant starts on first launch; continue with Set up an iPhone.
Zeptap is a paid Mac app. The first hour of live use is free, then $25 a month, $99 once, or $199 once for up to 5 iPhones. See pricing.
Homebrew
Or install it with Homebrew:
brew install --cask zeptap/tap/zeptapThis installs the same app, plus a zeptap command: zeptap --stdio runs the MCP server over stdio, for clients that only launch stdio servers (see Connect an agent). The app updates itself, so there's no need to brew upgrade it.
Requirements
| Needs | Detail |
|---|---|
| Mac | macOS 14 or later, with Bluetooth |
| iPhone | Connected to the Mac by a USB cable, unlocked, and set to trust this Mac |
| Bluetooth | The iPhone paired with this Mac over Bluetooth (the only step done on the iPhone) |

Updates
Zeptap checks for updates once a day and installs a new version in one click. To check now, choose Zeptap › Check for Updates…, or open Settings › Preferences › Updates.
Uninstall
- Remove Zeptap from each agent in Settings › Connectors, so no agent config keeps pointing at a server that no longer exists.
- Quit Zeptap and move it from Applications to the Bin, or run
brew uninstall --cask zeptapif you installed it with Homebrew (--zapalso removes its settings and caches). - Optionally, forget the Mac under Settings › Bluetooth on the iPhone.
