MobileNext offers a programmable mobile runtime that lets AI agents execute deterministic automation on real iOS and Android devices through a unified API. The platform combines device control, automation, orchestration, and cloud infrastructure, and includes tools like a command‑line interface for direct device interaction and Mobilewright, a Playwright‑compatible library for creating reproducible, CI‑ready mobile test scripts.

Problem
Testing and automating mobile applications at scale requires access to real iOS and Android devices, but provisioning hardware, maintaining device farms, and integrating with AI agents are costly and complex. Without a unified, programmable interface, developers and QA teams must stitch together disparate tools, leading to flaky scripts and limited parallelism.
Solution
MobileNext offers a programmable mobile runtime that lets AI agents and developers control real iOS and Android devices through a consistent API. The platform combines a command‑line interface (Mobile CLI) for low‑level device actions, Mobilewright—a Playwright‑compatible library for writing cross‑platform test scripts, and the Mobile MCP server that exposes devices to autonomous agents via a lightweight protocol. Real devices are available on demand through Mobile Next Cloud, billed per minute, with support for parallel sessions, custom builds, and full observability via action logs and screen recordings. All components are open source and can be run locally or in the cloud, enabling reproducible, CI‑ready automation without managing hardware.
Target Audience
Primary customers are AI‑driven QA teams, mobile developers, and organizations building autonomous agents that need reliable, scalable interaction with real mobile apps.
Features
- Mobile CLI provides unified commands for viewing hierarchy, screenshots, taps, and swipes on real devices, simulators, and emulators
- Mobilewright offers a Playwright‑style TypeScript/JavaScript API with auto‑waiting, semantic locators, and cross‑platform support for iOS and Android
- Mobile MCP server implements an open‑source protocol that connects any AI agent to a device for deterministic automation
- Cloud device farm supplies on‑demand access to over 1,000 real iOS 17+ and Android 12+ devices, with pay‑per‑minute pricing and no hardware setup
- Parallel session management allows hundreds of isolated device instances to run simultaneously, eliminating queues and shared state
- Full session tracing and screen‑recording logs enable replay and debugging of every agent action
- Compatibility with CI pipelines and existing Playwright tooling ensures seamless integration into existing test suites
