What it does
Glasshand, from Codapt Inc, rents physical iPhones and Mac minis in its data centre to people who want an AI agent to use them. You connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent through the Glasshand API, and the agent sees the screen and taps, types and clicks like a person. Each device is dedicated to one customer, keeps its apps and sign-ins between tasks, and is wiped when you release it.

- Real Apple hardware, not emulators. Agents work on physical iPhones and Macs rather than virtual machines, emulators or simulators, so App Store apps such as Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp install normally. Official source 1 ↗
- Screen and input control API. The agent fetches screenshots or a live stream of the screen and sends clicks, drags, scrolls, key presses and text through the API; no install or MCP server is needed. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗
- Real phone number via eSIM. Add an eSIM plan with SMS to the iPhone to receive verification texts and use iMessage. Official source 1 ↗
- Dedicated, persistent device. The device is not shared with other customers, you set its password, and apps, files and sign-ins stay until you release it, when it is reset to factory settings. Official source 1 ↗
- Human approval and takeover. You approve each agent by email code, pay in Stripe yourself, can take control from the browser at any time, and can revoke an agent from the dashboard. Official source 1 ↗
