Verify product flows
Have Codex inspect an onboarding, settings, auth, or purchase flow on a real iPhone after implementing a change.
Codex integration
Let Codex use a real iPhone while it builds
TapKit gives Codex a real-device control layer, so it can inspect mobile screens, exercise workflows, and verify product behavior on a physical iPhone.
Agent
Codex
Let a coding agent operate a physical iPhone while it builds, debugs, or verifies mobile workflows.
Interface
MCP tools
TapKit exposes phone actions so Codex can capture screenshots, tap, type, swipe, and move across apps.
Use
Build and verify
Use real-device feedback when code changes depend on app behavior, account setup, or mobile-only flows.
Why Codex
Some code changes need real phone feedback
A coding agent can edit code, run tests, and inspect logs. TapKit adds another feedback loop: the actual iPhone workflow that users experience.
That is useful when the task depends on mobile UI state, authentication, app switching, notifications, shortcut setup, or a third-party app surface that local tests cannot fully model.
With TapKit, Codex can call phone tools, observe the result, and continue working with concrete device context.
Use cases
Good Codex + TapKit workflows
Debug mobile-only behavior
Use screenshots and session context when the issue depends on phone state, app permissions, or installed-app behavior.
Create reproducible notes
Turn a live phone session into clear reproduction steps, observations, and follow-up engineering tasks.
Operate setup tasks
Let Codex help with repetitive phone setup, shortcut installation checks, app install checks, and account-state validation.
Guardrails
Use real-device control deliberately
- Use Codex phone control on devices and accounts you are authorized to operate.
- Keep sensitive account actions, payments, and external messages under human review.
- Use TapKit session output as evidence, not as a substitute for product judgment.
- Convert reliable workflows into documented scripts or backend integrations once they stabilize.
