SimCam
Test camera features directly in the iOS simulator
Our Take
The iOS simulator simply can't test camera, which means every iOS developer building camera features has to hunt for a physical device just to check if their code works — absurd, right? SimCam fixes that by streaming your Mac camera directly into the simulator, injecting images or generating QR codes, and it works without you touching a single line of app code. What makes this actually unhinged: they added a CLI so AI agents can automate camera testing in CI/CD pipelines, which is exactly where this gets genuinely interesting for teams scaling iOS development. The three founders (Krzysztof Magiera, Linoy Bar, and Saul Fleischman) built this through Software Mansion, and they've already picked up Day Rank #10 on Product Hunt with 175 followers — small but signaling real pain being solved.
SimCam lets you test camera features without a physical device - stream from your Mac's built-in or external camera, inject an image, or generate a QR code. Includes a CLI letting agents control the camera on iOS simulator.
