iOS Simulator Manager
macOS

Every simulator, one menu bar click away

A macOS menu bar app that lists, starts, stops, creates and deletes your iOS, tvOS, watchOS and visionOS simulators without opening Xcode. Built for developers who juggle device combinations all day.

Key Features

One-Click Toggle

Click any simulator name in the menu to start or stop it, with a green dot for running, white for stopped and a disc icon when the runtime isn't installed.

Every Apple Platform

iOS, tvOS, watchOS and visionOS simulators, grouped by platform and version and refreshed on demand.

Create and Delete Devices

Add new simulators from the full device type list using the latest compatible runtime, or delete existing ones — running devices are shut down first.

Licensed Electron Build

The Electron version adds license validation with a 30-day trial, machine-bound keys, feature gating and auto-updates via electron-updater.

Why We Built This

Xcode is a heavy way to boot a simulator

Managing simulators means digging through Xcode menus or memorising xcrun simctl invocations, and you can realistically only run a couple at once before your machine starts complaining. This lives in the menu bar instead: click the icon, see every simulator grouped by platform and version with a green dot on the running ones, click a name to toggle it. Shutdown All frees resources in one click, and old devices can be deleted to reclaim disk space.

Performance Ceiling

Only a couple of simulators can run at once before performance degrades, so knowing what's running — and killing it fast — matters more than it should.

Status Is Invisible

Nothing tells you which simulators are booted without running a terminal command. Green and white dots in the menu bar answer that instantly.

Simulator Clutter

Runtimes and devices pile up across projects and eat disk. Deleting them normally means Xcode's Devices window or simctl delete by UDID.
