iphone-use allows AI agents to interact with a real iPhone, reading the screen as text and performing taps, types, and swipes in any app, even those without an API. It provides a robust framework for automating mobile tasks, supporting both USB and Wi-Fi connections for remote control by agents or people.

iphone-use sits in the Workflow Automation category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward Interact with any iPhone app without needing an API.. A representative use case is Extract specific information from health or other apps.. The listed license is MIT. GitHub stars are currently 328. Relevant tags include AI Agents, iPhone Automation.
