Description
Let your AI agents use your iPhone like you do. Zeptap is a Mac app that lets your agent operate your iPhone like an another computer. Think computer use, but for your iPhone. Give your agent access to up to five iPhones at once, without Xcode or an Apple developer account. Use your existing Claude Code or Codex subscription, or connect through MCP. Anything you can do on your iPhone, your agents can now do too.

Could you build this?
No Controlling physical iOS devices from a Mac without standard Xcode/developer automation requires deep knowledge of reverse-engineered private Apple protocols (like usbmuxd, WebDriverAgent, or private lockdown services).
What it would actually take: The system requires a native macOS app interfacing over USB/Wi-Fi with iOS internal daemons via `libimobiledevice`, `usbmuxd`, and custom screen capture/accessibility bridges. Bypassing Xcode and developer accounts while simulating touch events and capturing frames at interactive latency demands reverse-engineering iOS's Testmanagerd or UIAutomation protocols.
