phone-harness

Why we included this project

Phone Harness is a thin transport layer that lets a coding agent such as Claude Code or Codex operate a real phone. It routes everything through the Mac: an iPhone appears in the iPhone Mirroring window, and Android connects over adb, with no jailbreak, no Xcode, and no app on the phone. The agent reads the screen through OCR or the Android accessibility tree, sends taps, swipes, and typed text, then re-captures to confirm the result. Setup is agent-driven: you paste one prompt, the agent reads the install and onboarding docs, and walks you through the few manual steps like pairing and granting permissions. The harness stays small and editable, so you can extend the helper functions the agent calls as your workflows grow. That makes it a practical fit for automating phone tasks or testing how an agent behaves on real hardware.
