Common questions
Connected, but cannot control the Mac?
Check that Helper is running and allowed under macOS Privacy & Security → Accessibility, then reconnect as the app instructs.
Where do I download Mac Helper?
Use the Mac Helper download on this website. Check the published version and SHA-256 before installing.
How do I update or uninstall?
Final instructions will be published after the release package and update method are qualified.
Why are gesture previews not animated?
When Reduce Motion is enabled in iPhone Settings → Accessibility → Motion, SideTouch shows static gesture illustrations. Turning it off restores preview animations. Trackpad controls and haptic feedback remain available.
Why is there no haptic feedback?
Check Settings → Sounds & Haptics → System Haptics, and Accessibility → Touch → Vibration. Both need to be enabled. For trackpad use, also enable the relevant haptic options in SideTouch. On the Haptics page, touch and hold the text on the left to try a sample; the switches change settings.
