Product brief

What iphone-use does.

iphone-use gives an AI agent a real iPhone: the screen as text, tap, type and scroll over WebDriverAgent, with an honest answer for every action (applied, not sent, or unknown). Payment apps that block screenshots come back as a wireframe. A task done once becomes a flow that replays with no model. HTTP API, a 21-tool MCP server for Claude Code, and remote control from a browser or iOS app. Open source, MIT.
