Documentation

📕 Documentation · ☁️ Mobilerun Cloud · 🛡️ Mobile Harness

Use the framework when you want to run the agent on your machine. Use Mobilerun Cloud when you want a ready-to-go solution for your local phones or cloud-hosted virtual/physical phones, managed infrastructure, and API-driven device workflows without running the agent on your local machine. Check out our benchmark results.

🎯 Platform Support

Target	Supported	Setup
Android Real Device	✅	`adb` or the Portal app
Android Emulator	✅	Running emulator (`adb`)
iOS Real Device	✅	`mobilerun-ios` over USB
iOS Simulator	✅	iOS Portal app
Android on Mobilerun Cloud	✅	Hosted phones or your own
iOS on Mobilerun Cloud	✅	Hosted iPhones or your own

📦 Installation

Note: Python 3.14 is not currently supported. Please use Python >=3.11,<3.14.

Install Mobilerun with uv:

# CLI usage
uv tool install mobilerun

# CLI + Python integration
uv pip install mobilerun

Most LLM providers are included by default. For Anthropic support, install the optional extra:

uv tool install "mobilerun[anthropic]"

🚀 Quickstart

uv tool install mobilerun
mobilerun setup
mobilerun configure
mobilerun run "Open settings and turn on dark mode"

Before starting, make sure you have ADB installed and an Android device with Developer options and USB debugging enabled. For iOS, set up mobilerun-ios for an iPhone or the iOS Portal app for the simulator.

1. Install the Portal on your device

mobilerun setup

This installs the Mobilerun Portal app, enables its accessibility service, and prepares the device for local control.

2. Verify the connection

mobilerun ping

You should see confirmation that the Portal is installed and accessible.

3. Configure your LLM provider

mobilerun configure

The wizard walks you through choosing a provider, auth method, and model. You can also use provider environment variables such as GOOGLE_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, XAI_API_KEY, or MINIMAX_API_KEY.

4. Run your first command

mobilerun run "Open the settings app and tell me the Android version"

Useful run options:

mobilerun run "Open settings and turn on dark mode"
mobilerun run "What app is currently open?" --vision
mobilerun run "Find a contact named John and send him an email" --reasoning
mobilerun run "Take a screenshot" --ios
mobilerun run "Open Settings" --steps 30 --debug

⚙️ Features

CLI: Run one-off natural language tasks, inspect devices, replay macros, and debug from the terminal.
Python API: Build custom mobile automation workflows with Python and use custom tools.
Android and iOS support: Control Android through the Portal app, iPhones through mobilerun-ios, or the iOS Simulator through the iOS Portal app.
Portal-based control: Use UI trees, screenshots, text input, gestures, app launching, and device state from the Portal runtime.
Vision mode: Send screenshots to the LLM with --vision, or use screenshot-only control with --vision-only (useful for the apps that do not have a11y tree information).
Reasoning mode: Use --reasoning for manager-executor planning on longer or more complex tasks.
Tracing and telemetry: Debug execution with Arize Phoenix, Langfuse, saved trajectories, and detailed logs.
Structured output: Return structured data from mobile workflows.
App cards and custom tools: Add app-specific guidance to make agent perform better on your use-cases.
Docker: Run Mobilerun in a container for repeatable local environments.

☁️ Framework vs Cloud

	Mobilerun Framework	Mobilerun Cloud
Best for	Running agents locally on your own machine and devices	Ready-to-go local phone control, hosted real or virtual devices, API workflows, and managed device operations
Runtime	Your machine	Mobilerun-managed infrastructure
Interface	CLI, Docker, and Python API	Dashboard, REST API, SDKs, and hosted devices

Use the framework when you want full local control of the agent runtime. Use Mobilerun Cloud when you want managed devices, fleet workflows, or cloud APIs without running the agent locally. Learn more in the framework overview and the cloud docs.

Which should I choose?

Choose Mobilerun Framework for local agent execution and code-level control.
Choose Mobilerun Cloud for managed phones, APIs, and scale without running agents locally.

Cloud Device Types

Device type	What it is	Best for
Personal	Your own hardware connected to Mobilerun Cloud	Quick automation on devices you own
Cloud Phone (Hosted)	Instantly available cloud-hosted phone	Scalable hosted automation
Physical Phone (Hosted)	Real hardware with stronger identity characteristics	Workflows that need high device authenticity and trust

Automate WhatsApp on a Cloud Phone

Generate leads with Google Maps on a Cloud Phone

🧩 Agent Skill

Give Claude Code, Codex, or another coding agent direct control of Android and iOS devices with the mobile-harness skill. Copy paste it into your agent:

Set up https://github.com/droidrun/mobile-harness for me.

Read `install.md` and follow the steps to install `mobile-harness`.

The skill teaches the agent to drive local devices (ADB, Portal, iPhones, iOS Simulator) and Mobilerun Cloud phones.

🌐 Part of Mobilerun

Mobilerun is one piece of a toolkit for driving real phones with AI agents:

Mobilerun Portal: the Android app that lets you control and automate your phone.
mobilerun-ios: connects an iPhone over USB, either to this framework (--local) or to Mobilerun Cloud.
iOS Portal: the iOS app that lets the framework drive the iOS Simulator.
mobile-harness: an agent skill that lets Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw control Android, iOS, and cloud phones. App cards teach the agent how each app works, and shared memory keeps what it learns across tasks. It scores 100% on AndroidWorld and 98.34% on iOSWorld (benchmark results).
Mobilerun Cloud: cloud phones for AI agents. Hosted Android phones and dedicated iPhones, real numbers and inboxes for SMS and email codes, residential and mobile IPs in any region, scheduled and event triggers, and mobilerun VA, a no-code assistant for mobile tasks. Drive it through the REST API, Python and TypeScript SDKs, or MCP, and watch every step live.
