Editorial interest 72/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Handlefree presents an iPhone and Apple Watch app for controlling individual Tesla doors and other openings through nearby Bluetooth, Apple Shortcuts, and iOS controls.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-23 issue.
For
Tesla owners using an iPhone or Apple Watch
Worth noticing
The page says Watch requests can run while the iPhone is locked, but the iPhone must remain nearby and holds the vehicle key.

Field notes

The page distinguishes opening the powered trunk from closing it, which it treats as a separate action. It also describes a per-door control model and says the charge-port-cover control is not a signal that a cable can be safely removed. Compatibility varies by vehicle, and the displayed app captures were made in the iOS Simulator rather than with a connected car.
