# ananhq/anan-iphone-use

> MCP firmware for M5Stack StopWatch (ESP32-S3) that lets an external agent control an iPhone over USB or BLE by emulating taps, drags, scrolling and keyboard input. The firmware itself runs no model and takes no screenshots; screen observation comes from the client agent.

## Useful for

- Connect a phone or desktop MCP client to the StopWatch over USB networking or Wi-Fi and drive the iPhone through tap, drag and scroll calls.
- Flash the firmware onto an M5Stack StopWatch and pair it to an iPhone via USB-C with AssistiveTouch enabled.
- Adapt the firmware and skill to a different ESP32-S3 board for iPhone input automation.

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-16 (UTC), 00:05–01:32: 102 → 104 stars (+2). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +27 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 3 days old and already has 104 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #165.
- About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 18
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 33 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 1

## Stars per day, last 4 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

   Lets an AI model drive a real iPhone via an ESP32-S3: the screen is mirrored over AirPlay while the board emulates a USB mouse and keyboard. No Mac, Xcode, Apple developer account or jailbreak required.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
