### Description (declared)

# Watchr — iOS, Android & Web QA Agent

AI-powered app testing for iOS, Android, and web. Tell Claude Code what to test in plain English — it drives the simulator/emulator/browser or physical device, finds bugs, checks accessibility, and catches crashes automatically.

## Supported Platforms

| Platform | How it works |
|----------|-------------|
| **iOS Simulator** | `xcrun simctl` + `idb` — auto-detected |
| **iOS Physical Device** | WatchrRunner XCTest server via USB — guided setup |
| **Android Emulator** | `adb` — auto-detected, zero setup |
| **Android Physical Device** | `adb` via USB debugging — auto-detected, zero setup |
| **Web Browser** | Playwright (Chromium, headless) — `device="web"` |

## Install (one time)

```bash
# Add watchr to Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user watchr -- uvx --python 3.12 --upgrade watchr-mcp
```

That's it. One command. `uvx` downloads everything automatically. The `--scope user` flag makes watchr available in every project.

### Platform-specific prerequisites

**iOS Simulator:**
```bash
brew install idb-companion
```

**Android (emulator or physical):**
- Android Studio installed (for `adb`)
- For physical devices: USB debugging enabled

**iOS Physical Device:**
- Xcode installed, device connected via USB
- Watchr guides you through the one-time XCTest runner setup

**Web (browser testing):**
```bash
pip install playwright && playwright install chromium
```

> If you're missing anything, watchr will tell you exactly what to install when it starts.

## Usage

Open Claude Code in any project and tell it what to test:

```
Boot the simulator, launch com.yourapp.bundleid, and test the sign-up flow
```

Claude Code will:
- Auto-detect your device (iOS simulator, Android emulator, or USB-connected phone)
- Launch your app
- Navigate the flow you described
- Take screenshots at each step
- Report any bugs, crashes, or issues it finds

### Switch platforms manually

If watchr picks the wrong device, tell it:

```
Use set_device…
