# Mobilerun

Mobilerun is an open-source (MIT) framework for controlling Android and iOS devices through LLM agents.
It enables mobile automation using natural language commands.

- **GitHub**: https://github.com/droidrun/mobilerun
- **Docs site**: https://docs.mobilerun.ai
- **License**: MIT
- **Install**: `uv tool install mobilerun` (Google Gemini, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Ollama, OpenRouter included by default)
- **Optional extras**: `anthropic`, `langfuse`
- **Requires**: Python 3.11+, ADB, Portal APK on device

## Architecture

Mobilerun uses a multi-agent architecture coordinated by `MobileAgent`:

- **Reasoning mode** (`reasoning=True`): Manager plans → Executor acts → loop until done
- **Direct mode** (`reasoning=False`): CodeActAgent generates and executes Python code directly

Key agents: ManagerAgent (planning), ExecutorAgent (actions), CodeActAgent (direct execution),
ScripterAgent (off-device computation), StructuredOutputAgent (typed data extraction).

Atomic actions available to agents: `click`, `long_press`, `type`, `system_button`, `swipe`,
`open_app`, `get_state`, `take_screenshot`, `complete`.
