About:
Sim Genie is a macOS menu bar utility that streamlines interactions with the iOS Simulator. It provides quick access to common simulator tasks like booting, installing apps, and managing data without using the command line. The tool saves developers time by consolidating scattered simulator operations into a single, searchable interface.
Key Features:
  • Menu bar access for instant simulator management
  • Search and filter across multiple device types and iOS versions
  • One-click actions for booting, installing apps, and clearing data
  • Support for managing multiple simulators simultaneously
Use Cases:
  • Rapidly booting specific simulators for testing different device configurations
  • Installing and uninstalling apps across simulators without Xcode
  • Cleaning simulator data and resetting states between tests
Alternatives:
  • Simulator Manager (xcrun simctl) – Native command-line tool requiring manual commands vs Sim Genie's GUI
  • Xcode Devices Window – Built-in but slower to navigate and lacks quick actions
