Show HN: SimTool – Terminal UI for iOS Simulator Management

1 point

a year ago

I built SimTool to solve a recurring pain point in iOS development: constantly navigating through Finder to inspect app containers and simulator files.

It's a terminal UI that lets you: - Browse all iOS simulators and their installed apps - Navigate app containers with syntax-highlighted file viewing - Preview images, SQLite databases, plists, and archives in terminal - Search/filter simulators and apps - Boot simulators and open files in Finder with keyboard shortcuts

Built with Go and Bubble Tea. Supports 60+ syntax highlighting themes and works across different terminals.

Installation: brew install azizuysal/simtool/simtool

Would appreciate any feedback, especially from iOS developers who deal with simulators daily.
