Open-source app lets AI agents control your phone with your approval
What is pinky?
Pinky runs on macOS, Windows or Linux and connects to any AI assistant that can speak the MCP protocol. It streams the phone screen to your computer, lets the AI issue taps or messages, but forces you to approve risky actions like payments or app installs.
Who it is for
If you want to experiment with letting language models act on a real mobile device while keeping a safety checkpoint, Pinky gives you a ready-made, open-source bridge.
