Opposable – Computer Use for iPhone and Android
Lets Claude Code or Codex tap and type on your real phone screen, not a simulator.
An Android app (free, via Android's Accessibility service) lets Claude Code, Codex or any MCP client open apps, read the screen, and tap and type on your actual phone. iPhone owners pair a Mac as a Bluetooth keyboard and pointer instead — no jailbreak, nothing installed on the phone. The core phone app and MCP server are free forever; remote access from anywhere is Pro at $8/mo, and multi-phone management is Power at $29/mo. Cloud rentals for people without a spare phone start at $19/mo, though the page is upfront that some banking apps block virtual phones while a real phone has no such limit.
What holds up
- +Free tier is fully local — your phone, your network, your model, no subscription needed.
- +Payments always wait for an explicit approve tap on the phone, never run silently.
- +iPhone support needs no jailbreak or app install — just a Mac or a Bluetooth stick.
Mind the limits
- −Some banking apps refuse to run on the rented cloud phones — a real phone avoids that limit.
- −Reaching your phone remotely needs the paid Pro tier at $8 a month, not the free tier.
- −iPhone control requires a Mac, or a separate Bluetooth stick on Windows or Linux.
