Can you install HAT on iPhone from a Windows PC?

HAT does what RescueTime, Toggl, Gyroscope, ScreenZen, Opal does, and RescueTime, Toggl, Gyroscope, ScreenZen, Opal costs Paid. This guide gets you the free one.

A Windows PC cannot build an iPhone app

Apple only allows iPhone apps to be built and signed on macOS using Xcode, which Apple does not release for Windows. This is Apple's restriction, not a missing feature in HAT — no setup, emulator, or virtual machine makes it work reliably.

What you can do instead

  • Borrow a Mac for about thirty minutes — the signature it installs lasts 7 days and can be renewed on any Mac.
  • Use an Android phone instead, which builds fine from Windows.

This is a limit of the phone and computer combination, not of HAT. Every other combination has a full guide.

Have a different setup?

This guide follows andromedvn/HAT at the reviewed version b0342d8. Pinning the version is why the commands here keep working after the project changes.
