Baguette is a Swift CLI and WebSocket server that provides headless control of iOS simulators without opening Xcode or Simulator.app. It supports booting devices, 60 fps screen streaming (MJPEG/H.264), host-side input injection (taps, swipes, multi-finger gestures, keyboard, hardware buttons), accessibility tree inspection, log tailing, screenshots, webcam piping, and a multi-device farm via a built-in web UI.
Use cases
- control ios simulators headlessly from the command line
- stream simulator screen at 60 fps over websocket
- automate taps and swipes on ios simulator for testing
- run a multi-device ios simulator farm
- inspect accessibility tree of an ios app in simulator
- record simulator screen as mp4 in the browser
- pipe mac webcam into ios simulator camera
- drive ios simulator with ai agents
When to choose
- you need headless iOS simulator automation on macOS without Xcode UI
- you're building device farms or AI agent loops that drive simulators
- you need low-latency H.264/MJPEG screen streaming with input injection
- you want to inspect accessibility trees and logs programmatically
When to avoid
- you need to control physical iOS devices rather than simulators
- you're on Linux or Windows — it requires macOS 15+ and Xcode 26
- you rely on officially supported Apple APIs and can't accept private SimulatorKit symbol usage
- you need Android emulator control
