Pinky

Pinky is an open-source desktop application that lets AI agents operate real iPhone and Android phones through MCP while a person watches, approves risky actions, and can take over. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, supports Android phones over USB or Wi-Fi and iPhones running iOS 17.4 or later, and works with agents such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, and other MCP clients.

Overview

Its gateway enforces approval rules outside the agent: payments, transfers, messages, installs, deletions, calls, orders, links, and other configured actions can require a click, while banking, wallet, and password-manager apps are blocked by default and agents cannot type into password or one-time-code fields. Pinky provides live mirroring, activity history, screenshots, recordings, HTML reports, phone take-over controls, and an MCP interface over stdio or HTTP. It is free software under the Apache-2.0 license, requires no account, and the repository describes the project as pre-alpha.
