What's New in Handlefree

1.0.2

October 23, 2026

Thank you for all your feedback and the kind reviews! • Setup now explains pairing in four simple steps before anything is sent. • Model S and Model X built before 2021 get a clear answer up front: they have no phone key, so Handlefree can't connect. • Stuck during setup? Email support right from the setup screen. • New in Settings: More from OneKapisch, small apps by the maker of Handlefree.

Vielen Dank :-)

Sehr sehr coole und Hilfreiche App. Gerade bei Personen, die die Grifffunktion der Tesla verstehen. Wird viel Stress ersparen👍💪

Amazing

This app gives you access that you otherwise would not get with the Tesla mobile app. There are other products that give you physical buttons for this that cost quite a bit, but this is a great lower cost option. Highly recommend.

Danke für die 5 Sterne! 🙌 Die Einrichtung dauert nur eine Minute: Halte deine Tesla-Schlüsselkarte bereit, sitz im Auto und folge den Schritten in der App. Wenn das Auto danach fragt, leg die Karte auf die Mittelkonsole und bestätige auf dem Bildschirm. Falls es hakt, schreib mir gern über Einstellungen → Hilfe in der App, ich helfe dir persönlich weiter!

Wichtiger Alltagshelfer!

Die App verfügt schon über jede Menge nützliche Funktionen und wird ständig weiterentwickelt und verbessert. 5 Sterne von mir!

FAQ

What Tesla models is Handlefree compatible with?

Handlefree works with Tesla vehicles that support Bluetooth phone keys and current software. Initial testing covers Model Y, with other models like Model 3, S, and X having cosmetic illustrations. Compatibility for additional doors or cargo actions is tested on your car before shortcuts are enabled.

How does Handlefree handle security and privacy?

Handlefree is designed with privacy in mind. Your key is created on your iPhone and stored in its device-only Keychain. The app does not require a Tesla login, a Handlefree account, or use any servers, analytics, or advertising SDKs.

What features are free in Handlefree?

The free version of Handlefree includes control for your driver door, locking and unlocking, Holiday Mode, and all safety settings. This allows for essential vehicle access and control without any cost.

What does Handlefree Pro offer and how much does it cost?

Handlefree Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks passenger and rear doors, the frunk, trunk, charge-port cover, and the Apple Watch app. It is also shared with family through Family Sharing. A 7-day free trial of all Pro features is available after pairing your car.

How does Handlefree send commands to the Tesla?

Each command is sent directly to your car over Bluetooth. Commands are deliberate attempts and are not queued or retried automatically. The app provides feedback on the command's status, including whether it was requested, accepted, reported open, or unavailable.

Can I use Handlefree to open doors for passengers?

Yes, Handlefree allows you to release a passenger's specific door before they reach for the handle. This provides a convenient way to let others into the vehicle without them needing to interact with the car's exterior.

What is Holiday Mode in Handlefree?

Holiday Mode pauses all commands until you turn it off using Face ID or your passcode. This is a safety feature designed to prevent accidental door openings or other actions when the app is not actively being used.

How often is Handlefree updated?

Handlefree was last updated on October 8, 2026, with version 1.0. While the provided data indicates a recent update, users can expect ongoing improvements and bug fixes as the app evolves.
