Hitting 10,000 stars on GitHub is not just a number for us. It shows that sharing our journey openly was the right move, and that developers really believe in what we’re building.
If you’ve been following along, you might know us as Droidrun. Same project, same community — the open-source framework is now called Mobilerun.
The Beginning
Our journey began about 19 months ago, in April 2025, when this was nothing more than an idea. After weeks of development, we created our first working model. Instead of perfecting it in silence, we decided to share our progress with the community.
We recorded a short demo video showing the capabilities and released it to the community. The response was amazing — within 72 hours, over 800 developers signed up for our waitlist. The traction told us we were onto something important.
Early Validation and Recognition
Soon after, we launched on Product Hunt and were awarded Product of the Day. That early validation increased our reach to thousands of potential users and contributors.
Funding
The momentum continued in the months that followed. In July 2025, we closed our first funding round of €2.1 million. That gave us the resources to accelerate development, expand our team, and invest in the infrastructure we needed.
What we’ve built since
The last time we wrote about this milestone, we had just crossed 7,000 stars. Since then, Mobilerun has grown into an open-source, MIT-licensed, LLM-agnostic framework for running AI agents on real Android and iPhones. Agents can inspect the UI, tap, swipe, type, and run multi-step workflows from a CLI or Python. Not an emulator.
We also open-sourced more of the stack around it — skills so tools like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw can control real phones, the Android portal app, a local iPhone bridge, MCP plugins, SDKs, and examples — so builders can automate real devices without waiting on us.
The community has grown with it: 10,000 GitHub stars, 1,800+ people on Discord, and more than 3 million prompts run through the product. On public benchmarks, the framework scores 100% on AndroidWorld (116 tasks) and 98.34% mean on iOSWorld (133 tasks).
Looking Ahead: The Momentum Continues
We’re excited about what lies ahead. Mobile automation is still in its early phase, and we’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible. We’re committed to maintaining the transparent, community-driven approach that got us here.
Join Us in Building the Future
This journey has been extraordinary, but it’s far from over. We want you to be part of what comes next. Whether you’re interested in trying the framework, contributing code, or building on top of it, we’d love to have you in our community.
The project is completely open-source, the community is welcoming, and the possibilities are still wide open.
