About iphone-use
iphone-use is an AI agent tool that controls a real iPhone to automate tasks in apps without APIs.
Developers use iphone-use to let AI agents interact with banking, payment, health, and chat apps that don't offer APIs. It's for people who need their coding agents to operate real phones the same way they'd operate browsers, automating tasks that normally require manual interaction.
- Real iPhone control via text screen, tap, type, and scroll
- Repeatable task flows that replay without spending AI tokens
- HTTP API and 21-tool MCP server for Claude Code
- Remote control from browser or iOS app
Good to know: Open source under MIT license. Requires a Mac with Xcode and iPhone connected via USB.
Key features
- Real app automation: Agents can operate payment apps, banking, health, and chat apps that block screenshots or lack APIs.
- Reliable action feedback: Each action returns an honest answer: applied, not sent, or unknown, so agents can branch correctly.
- Task recording and replay: Record a task once, then replay it without spending tokens on model inference each time.
