ShawnPana/phone-harness (492 stars, MIT) connects an LLM to a physical iPhone through the Mac's iPhone Mirroring window, using screencapture plus Apple's Vision framework OCR to build what the author calls a "poor man's DOM" of every visible string with tap-ready coordinates, then driving with HID-level CGEvents for taps, long-presses, drags, flicks, scrolls, unicode typing, and app shortcuts. The launch post hit 453,889 views. The design point matters more than the demo: no API, no jailbreak, no accessibility automation stack, which means any iOS app is agent-addressable today. On the same day, Samin100/codex-ios-assistant (166 stars) appeared independently, driving an iPhone from Codex through iMessage and Shortcuts. Two unaffiliated projects, same day, both triple-digit stars within 48 hours.
