About SimCam
SimCam is a developer tool that lets you test camera features in the iOS simulator without a physical device.
iOS developers use SimCam to test camera-enabled features during development without constantly switching to a physical iPhone. It's designed for solo developers and small teams building apps that rely on camera functionality.
- Stream from Mac's built-in or external camera
- Inject images or videos as camera feed
- Generate and inject QR codes into stream
- Control front and back cameras independently
- CLI for programmatic camera control
Good to know: Available as a one-time purchase with lifetime license; works without adding dependencies or changing app code.
Key features
- Mac camera streaming: Use your Mac's built-in or external camera as the iPhone camera in the simulator.
- Image and QR injection: Inject any image, video, or generated QR code directly into the camera stream for testing.
- CLI and AI integration: Control camera programmatically via CLI or let AI agents use it to build and test camera scenarios.
