| # Connecting an Apple client
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Goal
 | |
| 
 | |
| This documentation has the goal of showing how a user can use the official iOS and macOS [Tailscale](https://tailscale.com) clients with `headscale`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| !!! info "Instructions on your headscale instance"
 | |
| 
 | |
|     An endpoint with information on how to connect your Apple device
 | |
|     is also available at `/apple` on your running instance.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## iOS
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Installation
 | |
| 
 | |
| Install the official Tailscale iOS client from the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/tailscale/id1470499037).
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Configuring the headscale URL
 | |
| 
 | |
| - Open Tailscale and make sure you are _not_ logged in to any account
 | |
| - Open Settings on the iOS device
 | |
| - Scroll down to the `third party apps` section, under `Game Center` or `TV Provider`
 | |
| - Find Tailscale and select it
 | |
|   - If the iOS device was previously logged into Tailscale, switch the `Reset Keychain` toggle to `on`
 | |
| - Enter the URL of your headscale instance (e.g `https://headscale.example.com`) under `Alternate Coordination Server URL`
 | |
| - Restart the app by closing it from the iOS app switcher, open the app and select the regular sign in option
 | |
|   _(non-SSO)_. It should open up to the headscale authentication page.
 | |
| - Enter your credentials and log in. Headscale should now be working on your iOS device.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## macOS
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Installation
 | |
| 
 | |
| Choose one of the available [Tailscale clients for macOS](https://tailscale.com/kb/1065/macos-variants) and install it.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Configuring the headscale URL
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Command line
 | |
| 
 | |
| Use Tailscale's login command to connect with your headscale instance (e.g `https://headscale.example.com`):
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| tailscale login --login-server <YOUR_HEADSCALE_URL>
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### GUI
 | |
| 
 | |
| - ALT + Click the Tailscale icon in the menu and hover over the Debug menu
 | |
| - Under `Custom Login Server`, select `Add Account...`
 | |
| - Enter the URL of your headscale instance (e.g `https://headscale.example.com`) and press `Add Account`
 | |
| - Follow the login procedure in the browser
