1

Install it

Open Kite.dmg from your Downloads, then drag Kite into your Applications folder.

2

Set up Kite on your Mac

Open Kite from Applications. Choose a password and a name for your Mac. Kite lives in your menu bar, top right.

3

Allow control

When asked, turn on Accessibility (for clicking and typing) and Screen Recording (to see your screen) in System Settings. Then reopen Kite.

4

Get Kite on your iPhone

Install Kite for iPhone from the App Store and sign in. Tap Add a Mac, then scan the QR code in Kite on your Mac, or type its 9-digit Kite ID, and enter your password.

5

Approve your phone

Your Mac shows a six-digit code. If your phone shows the same code, click Codes Match, Allow. That’s it — your Mac is on your phone.

6

Keep it reachable

A sleeping Mac can’t answer your phone. In Kite’s window, leave Keep this Mac awake on. On a laptop, turn on Stay reachable with the lid closed too, so you can close the lid and still reach it while it’s on a charger or a USB-C power bank.
