The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Graft – open-source source control for agent-scale monorepos · score 8.3

  Graft is an open-source implementation of Anthropic's redesign for source control in agent-scale monorepos, shifting heavy operations like history, diffs, and merges to the server via HTTP APIs. It eliminates local clones and packfiles, using changesets in a write-ahead log and lock-free landing for massive concurrency, with impressive benchmark results against Git.

• Show HN: Open-source app that lets LLMs control any iPhone app (no Mac required) · score 7.5

  iphone-use-app is an open-source iOS application that lets an LLM control the same iPhone it runs on, using a loopback VPN and developer services without requiring a Mac at runtime or jailbreak. It is technically impressive, combining Swift and Rust to mount developer images and relay screenshots and tool calls, enabling autonomous app navigation. Its utility is currently limited by stringent requirements like iOS 26, Developer Mode, and a paid Apple developer account.

• Show HN: mobile-agent – Let AI agents control Android and iOS devices · score 7.3

  mobile-agent is a Rust-based daemon and CLI/MCP tool that lets AI agents control Android and iOS devices by maintaining a live mirror of screen state, using platform-specific low-level interfaces (adb, dtuhidd, IOSurface) instead of instrumentation or XCTest for most operations. It distinguishes itself by optimizing the tap-and-observe latency loop and reusing agent-browser's command grammar, making it a sophisticated piece of developer tooling for mobile automation.

• Show HN: Charter, field-level control over agents' calls into customer accounts · score 7.3

  Charter is a Python library that gives field-level control over what an LLM agent can read and send when calling into customer accounts via APIs. Each tool is a Pydantic model mirroring the API schema, with app-supplied context (like account ownership) and validation rules enforced before any request leaves the process. It also trims responses, builds wire formats, and produces a reviewable egress map, filling a real gap for teams deploying agents against customer data.
