Driftstack provides access to real iPhones in the cloud, allowing users to command and automate genuine iPhone Safari browsers remotely. Unlike tools that simulate mobile browsers on desktops, Driftstack operates actual iPhones, each with its own persistent identity, login history, and browsing context. This approach ensures that every session appears to websites as a legitimate iPhone user, indistinguishable from millions of real devices.
The platform is designed for scenarios where authenticity is critical, such as running multiple accounts with separate device fingerprints, conducting automated tests on the true iOS Safari engine, or scraping content as it appears to real iPhone visitors. Driftstack supports driving these cloud-based iPhones in several ways: users can interact manually through a desktop application, automate tasks using code in TypeScript, Python, or Go, or delegate actions to a built-in AI agent that can interpret plain English instructions. Each iPhone profile retains cookies, logins, and history across sessions, and users can attach proxies or VPNs to individual profiles, enabling location-specific browsing.
Driftstack emphasizes technical fidelity by running Apple’s WebKit browser engine, Core Text, and the iOS rendering pipeline to produce device fingerprints that exactly match those of physical iPhones. The platform avoids injecting stealth scripts or relying on browser disguises, instead ensuring that all measurable signals—such as canvas and WebGL hashes—are identical to those of actual devices. This makes it suitable for engineers, testers, and automation professionals who require undetectable, real-device browsing for QA, automation, or data collection tasks.
Sessions can be initiated on demand, with no hardware purchase or installation required. The desktop application enables users to organize device profiles, launch sessions with one click, and manage fleets of iPhones, each operating on separate connections and locations. Driftstack offers a free trial with one profile and 20-minute sessions without requiring a credit card.
driftstack-sdk is a Frameworks & SDKs product. It focuses on automating iPhone Safari browser tasks programmatically and stealthily. driftstack-sdk is an open-source project aimed at python developers needing iOS Safari automation. The project is open source (MIT). It runs on the web, the command line, and API.
driftstackdev builds and maintains driftstack-sdk, and the product first shipped in 2026. The project is developed in the open on GitHub with 4.7k commits in the last 90 days. Among its 5 catalogued features are safari automation, iPhone support, and stealth mode.
