Real-time iPhone Control & Automation
“So for example, if I wanted to order a Waymo to the restaurant Tom sent in the group chat, I could just tell Tapkit to do that. And it'll open up messages, tap on the message, open up Waymo, choose the drop-off, confirm the drop-off, and then order the Waymo. And it'll do all of this in real time on the phone.”

- Static split-screen view. The left side shows the Tapkit Mac app interface controlling an iPhone. The right side shows a real iPhone mirroring the actions. The camera maintains a fixed, clear perspective on both screens.
- Motion
- The Mac app interface and the physical iPhone screen display synchronized, accelerated UI interactions (3x speed). Taps, scrolls, and text inputs are animated precisely, demonstrating the automation in action. A 'Tap' icon visually indicates automated touch points.

Parallel Multi-iPhone Task Execution
“And you can do this with multiple iPhones at the same time. So you can have one agent ordering food, another agent researching, and another agent making reservations.”

All Posts Communities Comments Q Best date night dinner in SF I'm traveling to SF for the first time with my boyfriend and I want to go to a restaurant for his bday dinner tomorrow. He's a big foodie so I want to take him to a place that has an "absolute must" restaurant that I could take him. Looking for a fine dining vibe but still somewhat mid- priceable. Also realize I'm late on the reservation end... I've looked through Yelp and the common answers are the following: Mr. Jui's - Kim Khan - Liholiho Yacht Club - San Ho Won - Mr. Pollo Thank youuuu! Archived post: New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. +1 Nani! Amazing food I think Nani could be a good option for you here. High end Thai. Very good and well designed interior.

- Camera
- Static wide shot of three iPhones on stands, each displaying a different app. The camera is eye-level, providing a clear view of all three screens simultaneously.
- Motion
- Each iPhone screen displays independent, accelerated UI interactions (e.g., booking flights, browsing Reddit, making restaurant reservations). The simultaneous, distinct actions on each phone visually convey the parallel processing capability of Tapkit. App icons (Uber Eats, YouTube, Reddit, Mail) animate in with a subtle pop-in effect around the founder.

Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the tapkit-devtool-launch template.
MultiDeviceSyncDisplay
Multiple device screens (e.g., iPhones, Mac app) display synchronized or parallel UI interactions, demonstrating real-time control and automation. Actions like taps, scrolls, and text input are visually mirrored or independently executed across devices.
+ Code construction recipe
Use Remotion's `Sequence` and `AbsoluteFill` components. For each device, render a `Video` component with `startFrom` and `endAt` props to control playback. Use `interpolate` for precise timing of UI elements (e.g., `spring` for button presses, `linear` for scrolling). Overlay `Lottie` animations or custom SVG paths to represent 'taps' or 'swipes' on the screens. Ensure `loop` is false for demonstration segments.
IconPopReveal
App icons or small character icons appear on screen with a quick, energetic pop-in and subtle bounce, often accompanied by a slight scale animation.
+ Code construction recipe
Implement with Remotion's `spring` function for `scale` and `opacity` properties. Use `delay` to stagger multiple icons. For the bounce, a slightly higher `damping` value in the `spring` configuration can create a subtle overshoot effect. Position icons using `AbsoluteFill` or `Absolute` with `transform` properties.
AcceleratedUIDemo
User interface actions (typing, scrolling, button presses) are shown at an accelerated speed (e.g., 3x) to quickly convey complex workflows without losing clarity.
+ Code construction recipe
Pre-record screen capture videos of the UI interactions. In Remotion, use the `Video` component with a `playbackRate` prop set to a value like `3` for 3x speed. Ensure the original video is high resolution to maintain clarity when sped up. Synchronize with voiceover using `Audio` component and `continueFrom` prop.

Sample remix
Objective
A new CI/CD platform called 'DeployFlow' that automates code deployment across AWS, Azure, and GCP.How the recipe adapts
The MultiDeviceSyncDisplay primitive would be adapted to show three virtual screens: one for AWS console, one for Azure portal, and one for GCP console. DeployFlow's Mac app interface would be on the left, controlling all three. The AcceleratedUIDemo would show code being pushed, services spinning up, and logs streaming in real-time across these cloud environments. The IconPopReveal would feature AWS, Azure, and GCP logos, along with DeployFlow's own icon, animating around the founder. The overall color palette would shift to reflect the brand colors of DeployFlow and the cloud providers, while maintaining a dark mode aesthetic for the console UIs.Remix blueprint · tapkit-devtool-launch
