iPhone setup

Put 3tap one gesture away.

Add the Apple Shortcut, connect your private 3tap API key, then assign it to Triple Tap in iPhone Settings.

The one-tap iCloud installer is being finalized. The downloadable JSON below is a developer-readable recipe, not an Apple Shortcut file.

Review the modes, fields, and production API endpoint used by 3tap. This JSON is documentation and cannot be imported directly into Apple Shortcuts.

Troubleshooting

If a tap does not land.

Use an iPhone with Shortcuts installed and keep your private 3tap API key ready.

Triple Tap does not run 3tap

Confirm that 3tap is selected under Triple Tap, remove a thick phone case temporarily, and tap the upper back of the phone three times at a steady pace.

The Shortcut says the API key is invalid

Copy the key again without extra spaces. If the key was already shown once and is no longer available, contact support for a secure rotation.

iOS asks for permission

Allow screenshot access and network access to 3tap.ai. The Shortcut needs both to process the screen you intentionally capture.
