# Icemoon

> Icemoon is a macOS platform for deep automation of real, physical iPhones — no jailbreak required. It drives stock iOS devices over USB with human-like touch input (Bezier-curve swipes, natural timing jitter, real keyboard typing), and combines a visual flow builder, a fleet dashboard, a scheduler, and a built-in AI copilot that controls devices through an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server.

Icemoon is built for developers, QA engineers, device-farm operators, and businesses that need complex, reliable iOS automation scenarios of any difficulty — from single-device scripts to scheduled workloads across a fleet of iPhones.

## Key facts

- Runs locally on a Mac (macOS 13+); iPhones connect over USB. Devices and data never leave the user's machine.
- No jailbreak: devices stay on stock iOS firmware and keep receiving updates.
- Human-like input synthesis: every swipe follows a unique curve, taps carry natural timing jitter, typing goes through the real iOS keyboard — automation behaves like a hand, not a script.
- AI copilot: devices are exposed to Claude via an MCP server; the AI reads the screen, plans, and executes multi-step tasks, with live plan progress on the dashboard.
- Visual flow builder plus action recording: perform a task once on the device and replay it as an automation.
- Fleet features: multi-device dashboard, task scheduler/calendar, saved script library, per-device accounts table.
- Pricing: Solo $39/mo (3-day free trial), Farm $99/mo, Scale $249/mo; yearly billing at $31/$79/$199 per month. Payment by card (processed by Stripe; the subscription renews automatically until cancelled, cancel anytime from the dashboard) or per cycle in USDT (TRC-20) or SOL (no auto-renewal).

## Typical use cases

- Automated end-to-end testing of iOS apps on real hardware
- Repetitive in-app workflows (posting, messaging, data entry) executed with human-like input
- Managing and scheduling tasks across an iPhone device farm from one Mac
- AI-driven ad-hoc device control: describe a goal in chat, the copilot executes it on the phone
