unjiggle 0.3.1

AI-powered iPhone home screen organizer. One command to scan, score, and fix your layout over USB.

Unjiggle

Your iPhone home screen is a mess. You know it. You've given up fixing it. Unjiggle fixes it for you.

Unjiggle is an AI-powered CLI that reads your iPhone home screen, scores your organization, roasts your app collection, writes obituaries for your dead apps, and generates share cards you'll actually want to post.

Quick Start

pip install unjiggle

Connect your iPhone via USB, then:

unjiggle go

One command. It scans your phone, scores your organization, calculates your swipe tax, and generates a share card that auto-copies to your clipboard. Cmd+V to paste into iMessage, Twitter, or Instagram.

Share Cards

Every feature generates a 1080x1350 share card that copies to your clipboard automatically. No screenshots needed — just Cmd+V.

Features

Core (no API key needed)

Command	What it does
unjiggle go	Full experience: scan, score, archetype, swipe tax, share card
unjiggle swipetax	How many unnecessary swipes your layout costs per year
unjiggle scan	See your layout color-coded by category
unjiggle score	Organization score (0-100) with breakdown
unjiggle demo	Try it without a phone — see what the output looks like

Viral features (works without API key, better with one)

Command	What it does
unjiggle mirror	Personality roast from your app collection
unjiggle obituary	Eulogies for your dead apps

These generate share cards with or without an API key. With Claude or GPT, the roasts are funnier and more personal. Without, you get a solid rule-based analysis.

AI-powered (needs API key)

Command	What it does
unjiggle analyze	Deep AI observations (Claude or GPT-4.1)
unjiggle suggest	Interactive walkthrough — apply changes step by step
unjiggle suggest --apply-all	Just Fix It mode — apply everything at once

Safety

Command	What it does
unjiggle safety-test	Prove read/write works (changes nothing)
unjiggle backup	Save current layout
unjiggle restore	Undo any changes

Requirements

• macOS (USB communication with iPhone)
• iPhone connected via USB with "Trust This Computer" accepted
• Python 3.10+
• API key (optional): set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY for AI features. Core features and share cards work without one.

How It Works

Unjiggle uses pymobiledevice3 to communicate with your iPhone's SpringBoard services over USB. It reads the IconState (your home screen layout), enriches it with App Store metadata, and generates observations and layout suggestions.

On macOS 12-15, it can also read Screen Time data from knowledgeC.db for real app usage stats (last opened, daily opens). On newer macOS versions, it falls back to positional heuristics.

Share cards render to PNG via Chrome headless and auto-copy to your macOS clipboard.

The write path is validated on iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26. Every write is preceded by a verified backup and an optional round-trip safety test.

GUI Coming Soon

A native Mac app with live preview, drag-and-drop editing, animated before/after transformations, and a slider to control aggressiveness is in development.
