Thumbly
Let AI agents see and control your real iPhone from a Mac
Thumbly is a free, open-source Mac app and MCP server that lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI agents see and tap your real iPhone. You approve every client and can pause AI control in one click.
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/
