How Do I Use Kora on iPhone?
Direct answer: You cannot yet. Kora for iPhone is in development and is not on the App Store. Kora today is a macOS desktop application. When the iPhone companion ships it will sync with your Mac workspace — this page describes what is being built, and we will update it the day it is available.
We would rather tell you that plainly than let you search the App Store for something that is not there.
What is available today
Kora runs on macOS 13 or later, on Apple Silicon and Intel. Everything — projects, albums, contacts, Focus Flow, watch folders, Export Flow and Key Shift Pro — lives in the desktop app. There is no web app and no browser requirement.
If you want to start now, that is the Mac app: start a free trial.
What the iPhone companion is being built to do
It is designed as a companion to the Mac app, not a replacement — the phone is for capture and glancing, the Mac is for deep work:
- Quick Capture across nine entity types, including voice memos recorded straight into a project
- Focus sessions on the phone, sharing the same timer model as the desktop
- Project, album and contact views so you can check status away from the desk
- Home-screen widgets for at-a-glance project status
- Calendar and Gmail sync, and audio memos with transcription
- A Desktop Companion screen that hands work off to the Mac
Some things are deliberately not in scope for the first release: Live Activities, Siri Shortcuts, and the desktop whiteboard canvas. The iPhone whiteboard is a text and markdown notes surface rather than the full canvas.
When will it be released?
There is no announced date, and we are not going to invent one. It has not entered public TestFlight. When there is a date worth stating, it will appear on product status and in the changelog.
Frequently asked
Is Kora available on iPhone?
Not yet. Kora for iPhone is in development and is not on the App Store. Kora is currently a macOS desktop application requiring macOS 13 or later.
Can I use Kora without a Mac?
No. The Mac app is the product today — there is no web version and no standalone mobile app. The iPhone companion in development is designed to sync with a Mac workspace rather than replace it.
Will the iPhone app cost extra?
No. It is a companion to your Kora subscription rather than a separate purchase.
What will the Kora iPhone app include?
Quick Capture across nine entity types, voice memos recorded into a project, Focus sessions, project and album views, contacts, calendar and Gmail sync, and home-screen widgets. Live Activities, Siri Shortcuts and the desktop whiteboard canvas are not in scope for the first release.
How will Kora iPhone widgets work?
Widgets are planned to show time-sensitive workspace data — active projects, today’s focus items and pending deliveries — on the home screen or Lock Screen without opening the app. They are part of the in-development release and are not available yet.
Will I need the Mac app to use Kora on iPhone?
Yes. The iPhone app is a companion that syncs with a Mac workspace, not a standalone product. Kora’s core — watch folders, DAW detection, Export Flow, Key Shift Pro — depends on the desktop.
Does Kora run on Windows or Android?
No. Kora is Mac-only today, and the companion app in development is for iPhone. Windows support is on the roadmap without a committed date.
