vPhone Workstation is a native macOS SwiftUI application for managing virtual iPhones. It provides a library with live running or stopped state, iOS and cloudOS builds, search, and VM details including variant, CPU, memory, disk, network, device, and UDID. Users can start, stop, foreground, clone, rename, export, configure, and delete virtual machines. Its creation wizard selects a VM variant, firmware pairing, and CPU, memory, and disk resources, while streaming progress from vphone-cli and producing an exportable log. vPhone Workstation is a graphical front end for vphone-cli, which boots iOS research virtual machines through Apple's Virtualization.framework using PCC research VMs. It also checks host readiness, including the required macOS version, Apple Silicon hardware, vphone-cli availability, research-guest permissions, and AMFI configuration. The repository documents macOS 15 or newer as a requirement and provides Homebrew installation and source-build instructions.

vphone-cli is an open-source macOS command-line tool for creating and running virtual iPhones with Apple's Virtualization.framework and PCC research VM infrastructure. It targets Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 15 or later and automates the VM workflow from IPSW download and patching through DFU restore, custom firmware installation, and first boot. The tool supports multiple firmware patch variants, VM creation and management, SSH and VNC connections, IPA installation, and export/import or APFS cloning of VM bundles. Its host control socket provides programmatic screenshots, touch and swipe input, hardware-key events, and clipboard operations, with each action returning an inline screenshot; the repository also describes an MCP server named vphone-mcp for AI-driven end-to-end testing. Operation requires Xcode and the iOS SDK, several Homebrew dependencies, and macOS SIP/AMFI relaxation to permit the required private virtualization entitlements.

Life Recorder is an open-source native iPhone recorder with a private Mac receiver. The iPhone captures roughly one-minute AAC chunks while the screen is locked or other apps are in use, then uploads them over an authenticated HTTPS connection. The Mac receiver runs whisper.cpp locally, removes common stage-direction markers and repetitive hallucinated noise, and appends the results to one continuous Markdown transcript with hourly capture markers; audio is deleted after durable receipt and successful transcription. It requires an iPhone development build installed with Xcode, a macOS system running Python, ffmpeg, whisper-cli, and a downloaded GGML Whisper model. Setup creates a bearer token and self-signed TLS certificate, uses certificate pinning, and stores the transcript in a private runtime directory. The default connection is over the local network; cellular use requires a private VPN. The project is licensed under MIT.

Boop is a tiny, self-hosted notification inbox for developers. Applications submit events to a Go server using a project API key; the server redacts configured sensitive keys, stores the events in SQLite, and sends push notifications directly to Apple's APNs. The notification contains the title, body, and event ID, while the iOS app fetches the full event from the server using a device credential. The bundled web UI manages projects, devices, pairing, retention, silences, and event grouping. A one-time pairing token and QR code connect the iOS app, which must be built and signed by the operator. Events support levels, structured error data, up to three URL actions, fingerprints for grouping repeated occurrences, and a Sentry-compatible ingest endpoint. Boop also exposes an optional read-only, Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint for AI agents to query projects and events; it contains no LLM. Distribution consists of a Go binary with an embedded Svelte web UI, a Docker deployment, and the iOS app source. The project uses one SQLite database file, has no hosted relay, account system, or telemetry, and is released under the MIT license.
