Zeptap is a Mac app that lets AI agents like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor see, tap and type on a real iPhone through a local MCP server.
What it is
Zeptap is a Mac app made by Afterlume Labs that gives AI agents control of your iPhone. The iPhone's screen comes to your Mac over USB, and you can tap, swipe and type on it as a Bluetooth keyboard and pointer through AssistiveTouch. Agents drive the phone through an MCP server that runs on your Mac and only accepts connections from that Mac.
You can use any app on your iPhone: App Store apps, Messages, Settings, Safari and Photos. Nothing is installed on the phone, developer mode stays off, and there's no Xcode or Apple Developer account needed. Your iPhone is paired with your Mac over Bluetooth, and the only setup step on the phone is that pairing.
Zeptap works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, Hermes and OpenClaw, plus any other client that speaks MCP. There's also a built-in chat that runs Claude Code or Codex on your own subscription. Your data never leaves your Mac: there's no Zeptap account and no cloud relay.

Quick answers
- How does Zeptap work?
- Your Mac sees the iPhone's screen over the USB cable and controls it as a Bluetooth keyboard and pointer through AssistiveTouch. Agents drive it through a local MCP server on your Mac.
- Is this an iOS Simulator?
- No. Simulators run a virtual copy of iOS that cannot install App Store apps or use your accounts. Zeptap drives your real, physical iPhone.
- Do I need to install anything on my iPhone?
- No. The only step on your iPhone is pairing it with your Mac over Bluetooth. Zeptap turns on AssistiveTouch for you over USB.
- Do I need Xcode or an Apple Developer account?
- No. There is no Xcode, developer mode, code signing, or anything to reinstall. Download the app, plug in the iPhone and pair Bluetooth.
- Where does my data go?
- Zeptap has no account and no cloud. The screen is captured and read on your Mac, and the MCP server only accepts connections from your Mac. Screenshots go to the agent you connect.
