BUILT AROUND YOUR WORKFLOW

From a folder of IPAs
to a routine that works.

Keep files, accounts, and renewal status together. Start on USB, then add automation at your own pace.

01 / ORGANIZE

The right IPA.
The right account.

Assign one IPA to each account, with up to 25 account slots. Choose a new file when an app version changes; future installs and renewals follow the saved assignment.

Video 2.1.ipaAssigned to account 1Assigned
Music 4.0.ipaAssigned to account 2Assigned
Illustrative files. Apple’s app, device, and account limits still apply.
02 / RENEW

Refresh the profile.
Skip the big transfer.

Profile-only renewal can avoid uploading the full IPA. Known expired or rejected profiles and pending IPA changes can fall back to a full installation.

How renewal works
03 / AUTOMATE

A schedule that
checks back.

Opt into renewal every six days. Checks run at Windows sign-in and every 15 minutes. Missed a date while your PC was off? Overdue work waits for a usable connection.

Your PC must be awake and your Windows user signed in.
04 / CONNECT

At your desk.
Or away from home.

Use paired USB, configure local Wi-Fi, or establish a Tailscale remote tunnel before leaving. The app prefers an authenticated local route when available.

Connection requirements
05 / RECOVER

Know what happened.
Know what’s next.

Setup checks, job history, queued work, safe cancellation, backups, and redacted diagnostics help you troubleshoot. Live service status keeps the desktop informed.

Overview with refresh, Discord, connection and renewal controls; sample data

YOUR PC. YOUR BOT.

Your command center.
In Discord.

Check status from your phone. Pick an account and file with autocomplete. Start an installation or renew your assigned apps.

The optional bot runs on your Windows PC and accepts commands only from your configured user, server, and channel. Desktop changes and Discord commands use the same saved assignments.

Set up your private bot

Your PC does the work and must stay awake and signed in. The bot cannot install from the cloud.

START SIMPLE. BUILD FROM THERE.

Your first install,
in four steps.

You’ll need Windows 11 x64, an iPhone, a USB cable, Apple device software, an Apple account, and an IPA you’re entitled to install.

  1. 01

    Install the manager

    Run the per-user installer, or extract the portable ZIP to a permanent folder. No Python setup is needed.

  2. 02

    Pair your iPhone

    Install Apple’s device software. Connect over USB, unlock the phone, approve Trust This Computer, then choose Connections → Pair connected iPhone.

  3. 03

    Choose your apps

    Select an IPA folder. Add your Apple account, complete verification, and assign an IPA. Save your settings.

  4. 04

    Check, then install

    Run Check setup, then Install apps. After the first USB install works, add Wi-Fi, Discord, or automatic renewal.

INSTALL ≠ REFRESH

Send less.
When less is enough.

A full installation signs and transfers the assigned IPA. A refresh tries to renew the app’s provisioning profile, which can be much smaller than the app itself.

For known profile expiry or rejection, or a pending app change, renewal can use a full-install fallback. Unclear connection failures stop for inspection rather than blindly reinstalling.

Connection unavailable? Wait for a usable route.
No guarantee of indefinite app availability.

CHOOSE YOUR CONNECTION

Local first.
Remote when it’s ready.

Pairing and iOS service availability matter. A VPN provides a route; it doesn’t bypass the phone’s requirements.

START HERE

USB

The starting point for trust, pairing, and your first installation. Keep the iPhone unlocked during setup.

ON YOUR NETWORK

Local Wi-Fi

Enable Apple Wi-Fi sync and install the documented bridge service. A usable authenticated local route is preferred.

EXPERIMENTAL

Remote / Tailscale

Prepare a ready tunnel on home Wi-Fi before leaving. Keep Tailscale connected. Remote cold starts and uninterrupted roaming are not guaranteed.

Mobile speed depends on your PC’s upload, mobile signal, latency, and relay use. Read the connection guide and limits →

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Need more detail? The project’s guides cover setup, privacy, troubleshooting, and updates.

Troubleshooting guide
Does this bypass Apple’s sideloading limits?

No. Apple’s provisioning, certificate, device, App ID, and app limits still apply. An account slot in the manager is not an extra allowance from Apple.

What if my PC is off when renewal is due?

Nothing runs while the PC is off, asleep, or signed out. The opt-in scheduler checks at sign-in and every 15 minutes; an overdue renewal waits for a usable connection. Known expired profiles can trigger a full-install fallback. Keep the assigned IPA available.

Can I use any file-transfer app?

Yes. Save completed IPA files into your managed folder using your preferred transfer tool. Choose the file in the desktop app or use Discord’s account and filename autocomplete. This project doesn’t supply IPA downloads.

Do I need Discord or Tailscale?

No. Start with the Windows app and USB. Discord is optional remote control. Tailscale is for the experimental remote connection workflow, not a requirement for USB installation.

Where are credentials and settings stored?

Settings are stored in your Windows user profile. The Discord token uses Windows user encryption; the native backend integrates with Windows Credential Manager for Apple credentials. Prefer local Apple sign-in. Optional Discord login forms are processed by Discord and are not end-to-end encrypted. Read the privacy guide.

Will normal use request administrator permission?

The app’s per-user installer, startup, login, and normal jobs run without launching an elevation prompt. Installing Apple device software or the optional fixed-purpose Wi-Fi bridge is a separate administrator task.

Can it refresh from mobile data after a cold start?

Not reliably. Remote access depends on an established tunnel and services that iOS keeps available. Prepare the tunnel on home Wi-Fi before leaving. Even then, roaming and long-lived connectivity are not guaranteed.

How do I update or report a problem?

Use Help & updates in the desktop app or /updates in Discord. Read the update guide before replacing a running build. For problems, use redacted diagnostics and the issue tracker; never post credentials or pairing records.
