TL;DR

A workflow that combines Anthropic's Claude Code AI agent with Apple's built-in iPhone Mirroring feature on Mac, allowing Claude to visually read and interact with an iPhone screen by tapping, typing, and scrolling — without jailbreaking or needing app-specific APIs.

Kickstarter guide

Ensure you have a Mac with macOS Sequoia and iPhone Mirroring enabled. Install Claude Code via Anthropic's CLI. Use a 'phone-harness' prompt/script to grant Claude screen-reading and interaction permissions. Then type natural language commands in Claude Code to control your iPhone through the mirrored display.
