Thirty-two answers covering setup, connection trouble, the Motion Shop, and ads. If yours isn't here, send us a note.
Android and Wear OS are now available on Google Play. Slide controls have been checked on a Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Watch5 with Mac and Windows. Get TokTokTok on Google Play. Install the app on both your phone and compatible Wear OS watch.
Use an Android phone with a Wear OS Galaxy Watch. Older Tizen watches are not supported. Apple Watch requires iPhone; the two phone/watch families cannot be mixed.
Both routes are supported: watch → phone → computer, and direct Bluetooth from watch to computer after approval in the Helper. Keep the phone and computer on the same network for the phone route. Use the free Mac or Windows Helper.
Android supports remote control and motions. Check available products and prices in the Android app’s Google Play purchase screen. The iPad PDF workflow is available in the Apple version. Apple-specific menus and purchase instructions below apply to the Apple version.
Watch the setup flow →For the Apple version: an Apple Watch, an iPhone, and a Mac or Windows computer. See the Android section above for the Wear OS version. iPad PDF presentations are available in the Apple version. If you present from a Mac, install the free Mac Helper on it. If you present from an iPad, the TokTokTok app on that iPad is all you need.
iPhone and iPad need iOS 26 or later; Apple Watch needs watchOS 10 or later. The Watch models that run watchOS 10 are Apple Watch Series 4 and later, SE 1st/2nd gen, and Ultra. The Mac Helper runs on macOS 13 or later.
For Android, install TokTokTok from Google Play on your phone and Wear OS watch, then install the computer helper. Connect the phone and computer to the same network, approve the connection on the computer, and open the watch app.
For the Apple version, get TokTokTok from the App Store, open it on your iPhone, and the Connect tab walks you through three steps — ① install the Helper on your Mac ② tap "Allow" on the Mac ③ open TokTokTok on your Watch. Each step advances on its own the moment it's done, so there's no "Next" button to press.
Setup and the first connection need an iPhone, but you can leave it behind when you present — without an iPhone the Watch connects to your Mac directly over Bluetooth. That Bluetooth path is approved separately from the iPhone one, so approve it once on the Mac beforehand by connecting from your Watch while you're at the machine.
Yes. Install the Windows PC Helper, then select this computer once from the iPhone's Connect tab and approve the iPhone and Watch cards on the computer. After the first connection, you can leave the iPhone behind and present with the Watch alone.
School, office, and café networks often turn on AP isolation, which stops devices on the same network from talking to each other. Turning on your iPhone's Personal Hotspot and joining the Mac to it gets around this. The Watch's signal travels through your iPhone, so only the iPhone and the Mac need to be on the same network.
Two options — go around it with your iPhone's hotspot, or drop the iPhone entirely and let the Watch connect to the Mac directly over Bluetooth. The Bluetooth path uses neither Wi-Fi nor the internet, so it works in a closed network or a basement lecture hall.
The iPhone needs this permission to find Macs and iPads on the same Wi-Fi, so while it's denied no presentation target will ever appear. Turn TokTokTok back on in Settings › Privacy & Security › Local Network. If the Mac Helper can't find your iPad, do the same on the Mac in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Local Network.
It can. The Mac Helper waits for your iPhone to connect to it, so a firewall set to "Block all incoming connections" will stop that. Allow incoming connections for TokTokTok Helper in System Settings › Network › Firewall.
The Watch switches to the direct Bluetooth path by itself — there's nothing to press, and taps made during the switch are buffered and sent once it connects. For this to happen quietly, though, that Mac has to have approved that Watch over Bluetooth at some point, so it's worth doing before you go on (see question 4).
A program that sends keystrokes to other apps doesn't fit the Mac App Store's sandbox rules. That's why remote-control apps are usually signed, notarized by Apple, and distributed from the web — and the TokTokTok Helper is no different.
macOS requires it to deliver keystrokes to another app. The Helper uses it to check which app is frontmost and that app's "next page" shortcut, then sends the matching key. It never captures or records your screen, and never reads what you type.
The Helper is notarized by Apple, and a device you haven't approved can't control anything even if it's on the same Wi-Fi. All that ever moves is a signal like "next" or "previous" — the content of your slides, your screen, and even file names are never transmitted.
Click the menu bar icon → "Quit", then delete it from your Applications folder. Remove the entry in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Accessibility as well.
| PowerPoint Slide Show | Forward · Back |
|---|---|
| Keynote Play | Forward · Back |
| Google Slides present mode | Forward · Back |
| PDF in Preview | Forward · Back (one page at a time) |
A PDF opened in a browser scrolls one screen at a time — Chrome's PDF viewer has no page-by-page shortcut.
Tap the right side of the screen for next, the left side for previous. Swipe vertically to reach your downloaded motions and the settings page. If you'd rather have the sides reversed, turn on "Mirror left/right" in the Watch settings.
watchOS suspends the app when you lower your wrist, and it comes right back when you raise it again. Your iPhone holds the connection to the Mac, so nothing drops while the screen is off — on real hardware the next tap went through immediately after raising the wrist.
Open a PDF in the Present tab of TokTokTok on the iPad, pick that iPad as the presentation target from your iPhone or Watch, then tap away on the Watch. No Mac Helper is involved, and the iPad accepts PDFs only — export from Keynote or PowerPoint first.
Pick where you want taps to land in the Watch's Settings › Presentation device. The "Presentation target" card in the iPhone's Connect tab does the same thing. It normally picks for you, so you'd only reach for this when the automatic choice is wrong.
The iPhone app's Connect tab walks you through setup step by step, and the Guide tab covers how to use the Watch. Tapping the Watch preview there cycles through the same Control, Motion, and Settings pages you'll see on the real thing.
A short clip with a transparent background that appears over your presentation and disappears again. One tap on the Watch plays it on top of whatever your Mac or iPad is showing. The shop has motions like countdowns, a shattering screen, or something bursting through it.
A single-use pass that opens exactly one paid motion. Tapping Get on a paid motion buys a pass at that price and spends it right there, so no balance is ever left over.
Free motions download with no account at all, and browsing the shop needs nothing either. Sign in with Apple is asked for only when you buy a paid motion, leave a rating or comment, or use a promotion coupon. Moving slides — the remote itself — never needs an account.
Refunds follow the App Store's own policy and process — request one at Apple's report-a-problem page (reportaproblem.apple.com) or from your device's purchase history. If you changed devices or reinstalled the app, tap Settings › Purchases › Restore Purchases and the motions bought with your signed-in account come back.
Every feature is free, and ads cover the running costs. There are exactly two places they appear — once when you launch the app on iPhone (never on the very first launch), and one tile for every six in the Motion Shop grid. Nothing runs on the presentation screen, in the Watch app, or on iPad.
Buy "Remove Ads" once in the app's Pro tab and ads never appear again. It stays with your Apple Account, so changing devices or reinstalling keeps it, and no sign-in is needed. The price is whatever the App Store shows.
Tap Restore Purchases at the bottom of the Pro tab. The app re-checks your purchase history with the App Store, and the ads stop as soon as it confirms.
Buy "Remove Ads" during a promotion period and you get 12 coupons for motions made by us — one per calendar month, redeemable against our own motions priced at ₩500 or less. Register them by signing in on the Pro tab, then use one with "Redeem coupon" on a motion's detail page.
Whether a promotion is running, and how many coupons you have left, is shown in the app's Pro tab. Refunding "Remove Ads" locks any unused coupons, but motions you already redeemed stay yours.
No. All that moves is a signal like "next" or "previous" — the content of your slides, your screen, and even file names are never transmitted. The remote's signals go straight between your devices and never through our servers.
If you only use the remote, nothing is collected. Signing in to the Motion Shop processes your name, email, member ID, purchase history, and any ratings or comments you write; sending a bug report adds diagnostics like your device model and app version — shown to you in full before you send. Ads are non-personalized; the details are in the Privacy Policy (Korean).
On iPhone or iPad, tap Settings › Support › Delete Account. On Android, open Settings › Purchase Account › Delete Account. Sign in to the account you want to delete and confirm. Access to the account ends first; the server continues deleting the remaining data automatically.
Your profile, posts, comments, ratings and attachments are deleted. Other users’ replies may remain without your original post or identity. Published motions remain available to existing users with the creator name “Deleted creator”. Purchase and settlement records are retained where required. Deletion cannot be undone. See account deletion details.
Email history8720@gmail.com. In the app, Settings › Support › Send an email opens a message with your app version already filled in. For connection or playback trouble, Report a Problem is faster — no sign-in needed, and it attaches the diagnostics we need to track it down.
