What is Glasshand
Glasshand is a device rental service for AI agents. It provides dedicated real iPhones and Macs—not virtual machines, simulators, or emulators. Agents connect to devices through the Glasshand API and a dedicated controller to view the screen and perform actions like tapping and typing.
Confirmed key features
- Rent real iPhones or Macs: Devices are hosted in Glasshand data centers, so users don't need their own hardware.
- Remote agent operation: Once connected, agents can see the screen and tap and type on iPhones, or click and type on Macs.
- Compatible with multiple agents: The official site states it can connect to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes, or any agent.
- Install apps and log in to accounts: You can install App Store apps and log in to your own accounts; device settings and login states persist between tasks.
- eSIM support on iPhone: You can activate an eSIM plan with SMS capability to receive verification codes and use iMessage.
- Dedicated devices and data wiping: Devices are not shared with other customers; after releasing a device, Glasshand wipes data and restores factory settings.
Use cases
The official site lists uses including running social media accounts, replying to comments and direct messages, building and testing native apps in Xcode, testing login and checkout on real devices, and letting agents handle everyday account tasks like calendars, contacts, messages, and files.
Pricing and billing
The official pricing page shows: iPhone at $60 per month, Mac at $90 per month, both billed monthly per device in USD plus applicable taxes. Cancel anytime, and devices remain available until the end of the current billing cycle. The official site explicitly does not offer hourly or daily rentals.
How to use
Users can paste the prompt provided on the official site into an agent conversation, letting the agent initiate the rental and complete confirmation and payment as prompted.
