About the project

Lets you control an iPad or USB-C iPhone from a computer: an iPad app shares the screen and forwards keyboard and mouse commands to a Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040, which replays them as real USB HID input. Built for automation and agents operating iPadOS.

Useful for

Start a session and pull iPad screenshots to the computer via the control server
Connect the MCP adapter so an agent drives the iPad through high-level actions
Calibrate the pointer for accurate cursor positioning on the iPad screen
