Show HN: App Use – Enable AI to control your mobile apps

Hey HN! I built an open-source Python library that lets AI agents control mobile apps.

Its heavily inspired by browser-use Here's a quick demo https://x.com/itsericktorres/status/1932996729458110482

From our experience testing mobile workflows or automate repetitive app tasks has always been a pain. You either write brittle UI automation scripts or do everything manually. And after testing out browser-use and seeing all the cool things people were building for web without the pains of normal automation I decided I wanted to build something like it but for mobile

So I built App Use around Appium. The agent takes screenshots, analyzes the UI, and performs actions step-by-step while explaining what it's doing. We've tested it on everything from shopping apps to social media—it can handle complex multi-step flows like creating accounts, making purchases, or posting content.

The tool is basically all the things you love about browser-use but for mobile

Getting started is pretty easy just pip install app-use and head over to https://github.com/erickjtorres/app-use for a quick guide on how to get started.

If you are familiar with browser-use then you'll feel right at home!

I'd love feedback, especially if you've struggled with mobile app automation before or have ideas for making this more robust.

Let me know what you guys think! And if you have any questions!
