Let AI agents see, tap, swipe and type on a real iPhone, from your Mac.
Zeptap is a Mac app that lets AI agents like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor operate a real iPhone through a local MCP server. The Mac reads the screen over the USB cable and sends taps and typing over Bluetooth through AssistiveTouch, so nothing is installed on the phone: no Xcode, no Developer Mode, no Apple Developer account. Everything runs on your Mac, with no account and no cloud relay.
Use it to test your own iOS apps on a physical device, or to hand everyday phone tasks to the agent you already use.
