MobAI gives AI agents eyes and hands for mobile apps. They can control iOS and Android apps on simulators, emulators, and physical devices, then verify the result instead of guessing from code. Build the app. Let the agent test it. Fix what it finds. mobai.run

@AndrDevv Nope, it’s all local. Check this out: github.com/MobAI-App/sims…

@interlap01 Nice one, online sim?

With the right tools there’s no simulator limit even on an M1 Pro.

Cursor agent builds, installs, and runs iOS app on my iphone. That would be nothing new, except the whole workflow was started from the Cursor mobile app and executed by a cloud agent. No Mac. No USB connection. No same wifi network. Coming soon to mobai.run

@kylemacomber What’s next, running it on a real device? Oh, wait…

Prediction: every product with an iPhone simulator is going to start rendering it in a 3D device model.

Cursor on iPhone 🤝 controlling that same iPhone. New MobAI feature. Coming soon.

And with SimSlim, those Mac boxes can run way more simulators in parallel without burning through all their RAM and CPU: github.com/MobAI-App/sims… So much testing ahead. I still need to get MobAI properly integrated with Devin.

This is cool. Agents finally get real Macs. These Devboxes give Devin full shell access, so it can install MobAI and control the simulator directly instead of relying on computer use. Faster actions, fewer wrong taps, and way fewer tokens burned. Next up on our side: letting a cloud agent like this reach the real iPhone on your desk. mobai.run

The best thing about it is that, combined with github.com/MobAI-App/ios-…, a cloud agent can make changes to your iOS app, build it in a sandbox, and install it on your phone without your Mac even being on.

@mmartynasn @claudeai It’s actually a pretty old idea. Several tools already let agents control simulators, and some can even drive real devices. The real magic is what I’m releasing soon in MobAI: cloud agents running in sandboxes will be able to drive your ios device from anywhere.

TIL: @claudeai can actually go through the iOS simulator — tap through the app, test flows, catch bugs itself 🤯 That's next level. This is why I love starting new projects — you keep discovering tools and workflows you didn't know you needed, and half of it ends up useful for everything else you build too. #shipaton

In the next MobAI version, cloud agents get access to your real iPhone. Claude Code on the web, running in Anthropic’s cloud, controlling the iPhone in my pocket. Coming soon.

@redpersongpt @NeuralEnsemble_ @fragiannicola @LexnLin Here are some details: x.com/interlap01/sta…

@interlap01 @NeuralEnsemble_ @fragiannicola @LexnLin what the fuck, what is this can you elobrate

Running 45 website creation tasks in Codex at the same time Any guesses on how much weekly this takes on a pro 20x plan? 😂

@redpersongpt @NeuralEnsemble_ @fragiannicola @LexnLin Got something for you. 16gb macbook M1 Pro btw.

@NeuralEnsemble_ @fragiannicola @LexnLin it really depends on the tasks, for example 2 ios simulator tasks and 1 coding tasks slows it down a lot

@PascalLindenau @alexcooldev Download? Install on simulator?

@alexcooldev Hey Claude Download the app. Install on simulator. Take screenshots of EVERY app screen. Write in depth documentation. Generate stories Handle over to kimi k3 build, test pipeline.

Bruh, I just found some random guy who copied all of my apps on the App Store 1:1. Yeah, literally every single app on “App Store”. Even the UI screams vibe coding. All of the apps were launched within a very short time frame. My guess is that he has some kind of automation tool that clones apps from the App Store. 💀

@mnmldmg For simulator control, try mobai.run. It works directly with simulators, so it doesn’t matter whether you use Device Hub or the Simulator app. You might also want to use github.com/MobAI-App/sims… to reduce your simulators’ RAM and CPU usage.

OK, so I tried the Mac Claude app to do some SwiftUI. First, it’s blowing my 16 GB RAM apart for some reason. Then again, I’m running macOS 27 beta. Second, Xcode is crap and switching to DeviceHub makes Claude’s iOS Simulator obsolete. Still need to run builds in Xcode.

@ihendi92 Try mobai.run⁠. It can control your simulator, stream runtime logs, and even attach a debugger.

Real question for anyone running coding agents on iOS. Is there a setup where the agent can read the runtime state of a running simulator app, not just the build log? simctl gives me screenshots and logs. I still cannot see view state without adding my own dump code.

Here’s what scaling AI agents on iOS looks like. 12 agents running in parallel, each controlling its own simulator through MobAI. All on a 16 GB M1 Pro MacBook Pro. They fit thanks to simslim. mobai.run github.com/MobAI-App/sims…

@dudufolio What was so bad about it? Speed, token usage, or just controlling the simulator in general? I’m building MobAI, so I’m curious how it compares. Btw, love the view.

Btw tried the ios simulator in claude, horrible experience

Rate my setup

Cooking iPhone Mirroring for Windows, Linux, and, of course, MacOS in the EU 😮‍💨 Still early, but proven to work with iOS 27 devices.

If you or your team has access to one of the big mobile device farms, like BrowserStack, AWS Device Farm, or Sauce Labs, give MobAI a try. It makes those devices available to your local agent and works almost as fast as having them connected locally.

@betomoedano Hope you dig a bit deeper than just "it closes the loop" 😅 Would be great to see how fast and token-efficient it actually is, and how it compares with existing tools.

😱 CLAUDE CODE CAN NOW USE IOS SIMULATORS!
