About:
MiniSim is a native macOS menu bar application designed to streamline the management of iOS and Android simulators. It provides a visual interface to list, launch, and interact with device simulators without needing to use the command line. The tool significantly speeds up development workflows by offering quick access to common simulator tasks.

Key Features:

Menu bar access to all available simulators
Quick launch for iOS and Android devices
Install and uninstall apps directly to simulators
Copy device information (UDID, name)
Lightweight and native macOS experience

Use Cases:

Mobile developers needing rapid access to multiple simulators
QA engineers testing apps across different device configurations
Managing simulator states without using Xcode or Android Studio

Alternatives:

Xcode / Android Studio – Official IDEs offer simulator management but are heavier and require navigating complex menus.
Simulator Manager (simctl) – Command-line interface is powerful but lacks the visual convenience of MiniSim.
