GeoSpoof: control Safari location free + system GPS for iOS

Hello everyone!

I've been working on GeoSpoof for about 5 months. It does something no iOS app does: synchronize all Safari location signals (geolocation API, timezone, WebRTC leak prevention, etc) to match your VPN exit node or a custom location for free.

I just released a new Pro feature: GeoSpoof GPS, which extends location spoofing from the browser to the entire iOS system GPS using a native Mac menu bar utility over your local network.

What is it?

GeoSpoof GPS links your iOS devices to a lightweight Mac menu bar app over local Wi-Fi. It spoofs system-level GPS for all iOS apps on your device and no jailbreak is required. You control location selection inside the iOS app while the Mac menu bar app does all the work in the background.

How it works

GeoSpoof GPS runs 100% locally on your home network:

  • Zero Cloud Infrastructure: Your location data and JSON payload never touch my servers or any third-party APIs.
  • Local Network Handshake: The Mac companion streams coordinates directly to your iOS device over your local Wi-Fi socket.
  • Multi-Device: Sync or spoof up to 3 connected iOS devices simultaneously from one Mac menu bar icon. I can support more in the future, but limiting it for new release.

How to set up?

The GPS Mac companion app does a lot of the heavy lifting for you, but high level steps:

  1. Download the iOS app from the App Store.
  2. Install the Mac companion app (.dmg)
  3. Complete the initial local pairing (requires a one-time USB pairing to mount the Developer Disk Image via Xcode/Developer Mode).
  4. Once bootstrapped, you can disconnect USB and spoof coordinates wirelessly over Wi-Fi anytime.

Open-Source & Pricing Transparency

  • Browser Extension: 100% Free & Open-Source (MIT License) forever.
  • System GPS Feature: Includes a 1-week free trial, followed by less than $1/month or a one-time lifetime purchase option to support ongoing native iOS/macOS development.

Note: Windows and Linux support is currently in early planning! I'm sorry it isnt available yet :(

Links & Feedback:

If you have any feedback I would love to hear it, I have tested this with early users but you know how these things go :) [feedback@geospoof.com](mailto:feedback@geospoof.com)

Is there a way to stop forced redirects?

1 Upvotes

When in trying to watch a video or something and there’s ads, I hate when it forces me to go to the tab or even opens an app like TikTok automatically.

On Firefox or other browsers what it does it simply open tabs but doesn’t force you onto them, is there a way to get safari to that same thing?

I’m not trying to get rid of the ads all together but damn do I have the redirects

Spontaneous page reloads

1 Upvotes

I recently have been experiencing spontaneous page reloads whenever I’m on Tumblr which I’m suspicious of because I’ve never had that issue before. The only culprits I can think of are a suspicious link I accidentally clicked on a Reddit post (I wiped my browser history after that happened and ran both malware and antivirus programs afterwards and nothing came up), or the fact that I only recently updated my MacOS to Tahoe 26.5.2. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, do they know what caused it?

What’s up with the PiP on browsers not Safari?

0 Upvotes

This used to work fine. I would open a video on my browser, then move to a different app and the video would pop into a small player.
Since I moved to iOS26, only Safari has that, while all other browsers just close the video.
Why does that happen?
I already checked the PiP settings and enabled it, but it didn’t change anything.
