Mobile Harness: Bringing Browser-Use Skills to Mobile Apps for Claude Agents
Mobile Harness is a new open-source project that brings the browser-use/browser-harness approach to mobile apps. It provides reusable skills for AI agents like Claude to interact with mobile apps such as Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok. Example skills include finding a user profile and extracting public profile data, getting the latest post, scrolling and extracting content, and going through onboarding flows.
Under the hood, it uses MobAI as the execution layer, which is closed source but provides a protocol/interface for controlling mobile devices: observe screen, interact with UI, run actions, etc. Mobile Harness builds on top of that to make reusable app-level skills that agents can call. It works with real devices, emulators, and simulators, and there's a free daily quota so you can try it without paying.
