Control Room is a macOS GUI application for controlling the Xcode Simulator for iOS, tvOS, and watchOS. It wraps Apple's simctl command-line tool to manage simulator appearance, status bar, screenshots, push notifications, and more.
Use cases
- control the xcode simulator from a gui
- take simulator screenshots with device bezels
- override simulator dark mode and language settings
- send test push notifications to the simulator
- edit simulator app userdefaults
- set custom gps location in the simulator
- change simulator status bar time and battery
When to choose
- you develop iOS, tvOS, or watchOS apps and want a friendlier interface than simctl
- you frequently tweak simulator settings like appearance, locale, or status bar
- you need quick access to screenshots, deep links, and push notification testing
When to avoid
- you don't have Xcode installed, since simctl is required
- you need to automate simulators on Linux or CI servers
- you need an Android emulator tool
