iPhone-use（GitHub：https://github.com/zhongerxin/iPhone-use ，2026-10-06 创建，今晨抓取时已 4,764★）让 Codex、WorkBuddy 或豆包工作通过 USB 操作你的真实 iPhone：用自然语言描述任务，助手就能打开 App、读取页面、点击、滚动、输入文字、整理列表，并在侧边栏实时展示手机屏幕。

它用 Appium 的 WebDriverAgent（WDA）与 iPhone 通信，包含本地 MCP 服务、安装与使用技能和实时屏幕 widget；控件定位失败时，会指导模型看截图再尝试坐标点击。最近的更新还加了画面直接操作（点击画面、鼠标拖动、触控板双指滚动）、微信点击优化和 AirDrop 文件传回 Mac 的指引。使用前需要在自己的 iPhone 上安装、签名并启动 WDA Runner，项目提供了一段提示词，让助手协助完成首次安装。

为什么值得了解

• “AI 操作真机”这条线最近很热，但这个项目把落点放在了普通开发者手里已有的设备上：一部 iPhone + 一根 USB 线 + Codex，就能把重复的手机操作交给助手
• 对正在用 Codex / WorkBuddy 做开发的人尤其顺：不用换工具链，手机就成了助手能直接动手干活的另一台设备
• 两点提醒：首次安装 WDA 需要签名配置，要按项目流程走；插件默认会向独立的统计项目发送匿名使用统计（不上传手机画面、输入内容和设备标识），在意的话可用 IPHONE_USE_ANALYTICS=0 或 DO_NOT_TRACK=1 关闭

iPhone-use (GitHub: https://github.com/zhongerxin/iPhone-use , created 2026-10-06, 4,764 stars at this morning’s fetch) lets Codex, WorkBuddy or Doubao Work operate your real iPhone over USB: describe a task in natural language, and the assistant opens apps, reads pages, taps, scrolls, types and organises lists, while showing the phone’s screen live in a sidebar.

It talks to the iPhone through Appium’s WebDriverAgent (WDA), with a local MCP service, install and usage skills, and a live screen widget; when control lookup fails, it guides the model to look at a screenshot and try coordinate taps. Recent updates added direct screen interaction (tapping the screen, mouse drag, trackpad two-finger scroll), WeChat tap optimisation, and guidance for sending files back to a Mac via AirDrop. Before first use, WDA Runner must be installed, signed and started on your own iPhone, and the project provides a prompt to let the assistant help with that first setup.

Why it’s worth knowing

• “AI operating a real phone” has been a hot thread lately, but this project lands it on hardware developers already own: one iPhone, one USB cable and Codex are enough to hand repetitive phone tasks to an assistant
• Especially smooth for people already working with Codex / WorkBuddy: no new toolchain to adopt — the phone simply becomes another device the assistant can act on directly
• Two notes: the first WDA install needs signing configuration, so follow the project’s flow; and the plugin sends anonymous usage statistics to a separate analytics project by default (no phone screens, input content or device identifiers are uploaded) — set IPHONE_USE_ANALYTICS=0 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1 to turn it off if you prefer
