A Flutter package that simulates how a running app looks and behaves on other devices — screen size, pixel ratio, safe areas, locale, text scale, brightness, and target platform — without rebuilds or simulators. It integrates via a single enable() call and is controllable from Flutter DevTools, Dart code, or widget tests, and is disabled in release builds.

Use cases

  • preview my flutter app on different screen sizes without a simulator
  • test responsive layouts on notched phones and tablets while developing
  • check how my app looks with large text scale or dark mode
  • simulate locales and accessibility settings in a running flutter app
  • verify safe area and home indicator layout issues early
  • run widget tests against simulated device configurations

When to choose

  • you build Flutter apps and want instant device/layout simulation during development
  • you want to catch overflow, clipping, or safe-area bugs before shipping
  • you need locale, text-scale, or platform overrides without emulators or rebuilds

When to avoid

  • you need pixel-accurate native rendering or real device performance profiling
  • your project is not Flutter/Dart
  • you need automated cross-browser web testing rather than Flutter layout simulation
