RocketSim

Enhancing the Xcode Simulators

Compare designs, show rulers, add a grid, quick actions for recent builds. Create recordings with touches & audio, trim and export them into MP4 or GIF and share them anywhere using drag & drop. Add bezels to screenshots and videos.

And that's not all. Scroll down to explore all features.

"I use RocketSim a lot to create recordings for my articles. The touches now make it even easier to share my learnings."

Pixel-perfect implementations of delivered designs. Add your designs in the compare tool and verify your implementation, right in the Simulator.

Grids

How does your app work without a connection?

Only your Simulator app gets disconnected. You can still use your Mac's connection to search Stack Overflow or share your progress via Slack.

Magnify for precision

Hold ⇧ Shift and move mouse or scroll wheel to magnify

The Power of Drag and Drop

App Store Connect. GitHub. Slack. Twitter. iMessage.

Everything you need, right from the statusbar

RocketSim keeps things simple. Access all actions right from the statusbar, without any disturbing windows.

Trigger deeplinks

Directly launch universal links that you just copied or select one from your stored groups.

Recent builds

Grant, revoke, or reset permissions. Open common folders or edit user defaults.

Capture recordings & screenshots

Create MP4 and GIF recordings or capture a screenshot.

Using your active simulator

All actions perform in the visible Simulator, simple as that.
