Description
Opposable lets Claude Code, Codex or any MCP agent see, tap and type on a real iPhone or Android phone, in every app you're signed into. Common tasks run on the phone with no model at all, payments wait for your tap, and iPhones work through Bluetooth or a tiny USB stick.

Could you build this?
No Automating iOS and Android control via custom hardware dongles, Bluetooth HID emulation, and accessibility APIs breaks beyond standard software boundaries into hardware and mobile OS security constraints.
What it would actually take: Requires custom firmware (e.g., ESP32 or USB microcontroller) acting as a Bluetooth HID keyboard/mouse or USB host to bypass Apple's sandbox, combined with screen capture streaming via WebDriverAgent/libimobiledevice on iOS and UIAutomator on Android. Hard parts include low-latency vision-to-coordinate mapping, maintaining physical HID connections without jailbreaks, and reliable accessibility automation. Requires specialized embedded firmware engineering, hardware prototyping, and mobile OS internals expertise.
