Description
Zeptap is a Mac application developed by Afterlume Labs that enables AI agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor to control a real iPhone. This is achieved through a local MCP server, which ensures that no data leaves your Mac and nothing is installed on the iPhone. The app allows agents to see, tap, and type on the iPhone, enabling them to use apps, send messages, and perform tasks as if they were a human user.

Zeptap works by connecting your iPhone to your Mac via a USB cable, with the Mac acting as a Bluetooth keyboard and pointer through AssistiveTouch. This setup allows the AI agents to drive the iPhone without the need for Xcode, Developer Mode, or an Apple Developer account. The app supports various AI agents and provides a built-in chat feature that runs on your own subscription to services like Claude Code or Codex.
The pricing for Zeptap is straightforward, with options for a monthly subscription at $25, a one-time payment of $99 for a single iPhone, or $199 for up to five iPhones. Users can try the app for free before committing to a purchase. Zeptap is designed for social media teams, developers, and individuals who need to automate tasks on their iPhones without compromising security.
Zeptap's value proposition lies in its ability to let AI agents perform tasks on a real iPhone, using the apps and accounts already present on the device. This makes it ideal for social media management, app testing, and personal errands. The app ensures that your data remains private, with no cloud storage or external accounts required.
