summary: "How OpenClaw vendors Apple device model identifiers for friendly names in the macOS
app."
read_when:
- Updating device model identifier mappings or NOTICE/license files
- Changing how Instances UI displays device names
title: "Device model database"
---
The macOS companion app shows friendly Apple device model names in the **Instances** UI by mapping Apple model identifiers (e.g. `iPad16,6`, `Mac16,6`) to human-readable names.
The mapping is vendored as JSON under:
- `apps/macos/Sources/OpenClaw/Resources/DeviceModels/`
## Data source
We currently vendor the mapping from the MIT-licensed repository:
- `kyle-seongwoo-jun/apple-device-identifiers`
To keep builds deterministic, the JSON files are pinned to specific upstream commits (recorded in `apps/macos/Sources/OpenClaw/Resources/DeviceModels/NOTICE.md`).
## Updating the database
1. Pick the upstream commits you want to pin to (one for iOS, one for macOS).
2. Update the commit hashes in `apps/macos/Sources/OpenClaw/Resources/DeviceModels/NOTICE.md`.
3. Re-download the JSON files, pinned to those commits:
```bash
IOS_COMMIT="<commit sha for ios-device-identifiers.json>"
MAC_COMMIT="<commit sha for mac-device-identifiers.json>"
curl -fsSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kyle-seongwoo-jun/apple-device-identifiers/${IOS_COMMIT}/ios-device-identifiers.json" \
-o apps/macos/Sources/OpenClaw/Resources/DeviceModels/ios-device-identifiers.json
curl -fsSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kyle-seongwoo-jun/apple-device-identifiers/${MAC_COMMIT}/mac-device-identifiers.json" \
-o apps/macos/Sources/OpenClaw/Resources/DeviceModels/mac-device-identifiers.json
```
4. Ensure `apps/macos/Sources/OpenClaw/Resources/DeviceModels/LICENSE.apple-device-identifiers.txt` still matches upstream (replace it if the upstream license changes).
5. Verify the macOS app builds cleanly (no warnings):
```bash
swift build --package-path apps/macos
```
