About iphone-use

iPhone-use is an innovative SaaS tool that enables AI agents to operate real iPhones seamlessly. By utilizing WebDriverAgent to simulate taps, scrolls, and keyboard inputs, it provides a realistic environment for automating iOS apps—even those that block screenshots or have no accessible API. The platform offers an honest assessment of each action, indicating whether it was applied, sent, or unknown, and can transform single tasks into reusable workflows. Its HTTP API, integration with Claude Code through a 21-tool MCP server, and remote control capabilities via browser or iOS app make it a versatile solution for developers, testers, and automation enthusiasts. Being open-source under the MIT license, iPhone-use appeals to those who value transparency and customization, making it a powerful tool for testing, automation, and AI-driven app interaction.
