Hi, I'm Timur, the maker of Thumbly. It gives MCP agents access to a real iPhone from your Mac: screenshots, taps, swipes, typing and app launching.
Each new client waits for your approval in the Mac app. You can inspect activity and pause AI access. Thumbly connects over USB or Wi-Fi after initial USB pairing, without a jailbreak.
This is the first public release, 0.1.0. You'll need macOS 14+, iOS 17.4+, Developer Mode and a USB data cable for setup. It's free and open source, with a Python SDK for scripts.
I'd love feedback on setup with your device and MCP client, and the phone workflows you'd like to automate. Demo and installation: https://timurcatakli.github.io/thumbly/
