Product Overview
What is Glasshand?
Glasshand rents real iPhones and Macs for agents to operate through an API. Agents view the screen and interact through taps, clicks, and typing, enabling workflows across native apps and Apple services. Each device is dedicated to one customer, retains its setup between tasks, and is factory-reset when released. Rentals run month to month.
Key Features
Real Apple Hardware
Hosted physical iPhones and Macs provide access to native apps and Apple services without relying on emulators or virtual machines.
Agent-Controlled Interaction
Connect agents through the Glasshand API to view screens, tap, click, and type through a dedicated device controller.
Persistent Dedicated Devices
Keep installed apps, files, and signed-in accounts between tasks on a device reserved exclusively for you.
App and Account Access
Install apps, sign into iCloud and other services, and let agents work with calendars, contacts, messages, and files.
Cellular Connectivity
Activate an eSIM on an iPhone for mobile network access, with an SMS-capable plan for verification texts.
Device Lifecycle Management
Start with a factory-reset device, set your own password, and have the device and controller wiped when released.
Use Cases
- Social Media Operations : Have agents publish posts, respond to comments and messages, and follow up with leads across social apps.
- Native App Development : Use Xcode on a hosted Mac to build native apps and test workflows on real Apple hardware.
- Sign-In and Checkout Testing : Validate authentication and purchase flows on real iPhones and Macs rather than simulated environments.
- Personal Administration : Delegate tasks involving calendars, contacts, messages, and files using accounts configured on the device.
