What if you could have all the freedom in the world to create customized automation scripts on your iPhone or iPad? Well… wonder no longer, because it’s a reality with the release of a new jailbreak tweak called CatScript by iOS developer 0x530c.
This new Python language-based add-on lets you create or import scripts, connect to your iPhone’s web server via a web browser on your computer to inspect screen data and develop scripts, configure existing scripts, and run or replay scripts.
In the screenshot examples above, you can see the CatScript app’s user interface, including a tab where all available scripts are shown, and a tab where users can configure their CatScript settings to their liking. Options include configuring apps, inspect, and the web URL for your web server.
Below, you can see some examples of the script and inspecting screen data from a web browser on your computer:
