About Glasshand

Glasshand rents real, physical iPhones and Macs hosted in its own data center to AI agents. The site is run by Codapt Inc, and the makers say they are the team behind Solid. Instead of a simulator or virtual machine, an agent such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor gets a dedicated device it can see and control, so it can use real App Store apps and real accounts.

Agents connect over a REST API with an OpenAPI spec and an OAuth device flow; no MCP server or install is required. The agent takes screenshots, streams the screen over WebSocket and sends clicks, drags, scrolls, key presses and text, while a human can take over from the browser. iPhones accept an eSIM plan with SMS and mobile data for verification texts, and Macs run Xcode. Pricing is per device, month to month: $60 for an iPhone SE (3rd gen) and $90 for a Mac mini M4, plus tax.

It fits developers testing native sign-in and checkout flows, and teams letting agents run social accounts or app-only admin. Cloud browsers such as Lexmount Browser are cheaper for anything a website can do, and local tools that drive your own iPhone avoid the rental fee. Downsides: no hourly or daily rental, one iPhone model, ASCII-only text input and stock that is not guaranteed.

Glasshand launched on Product Hunt on November 5, 2026 and ranked #1 on Product Hunt's daily leaderboard for November 5, 2026. Buying tip: start with one device for a single workflow, and remember that cancellation runs to the end of the paid month, after which the device is wiped and reset.

Our take

Glasshand solves a narrow but real problem: giving agents genuine Apple hardware without managing devices yourself. It is worth $60 to $90 a month when the job truly needs native apps; for browser tasks, a cloud browser is cheaper.
