iPhone Use is an open-source automation tool that allows AI coding agents to operate physical iPhones connected to a Mac through USB. It uses WebDriverAgent and a local Model Context Protocol server to enable device interaction without jailbreaking. The software lets agents launch applications, navigate interfaces, read screen content, and perform taps, swipes, and dragging gestures. It supports Unicode text entry, automated task sequences, and scrolling through lengthy lists. A live device preview provides visual feedback and allows users to interact directly with the connected phone. The system includes guided device setup, connection recovery, and screenshot-based error handling. iPhone Use integrates with Codex, WorkBuddy, and Doubao Work for mobile application testing and assisted device workflows.
