## What it is
iSimulator is a macOS GUI utility for managing Xcode simulators and the apps installed on them. It wraps simctl/xcrun functionality to create, boot, and erase simulators and to launch, uninstall, or share apps across simulators.

## Use cases
- manage ios simulator apps without terminal commands
- access an app's sandbox and bundle folders on the simulator
- boot multiple simulators at once
- share an installed app to another simulator without rebuilding
- create, erase, or delete simulators from a gui
- pair iphone and apple watch simulators

## When to choose
- you frequently use simctl/xcrun and want a gui instead
- you need quick access to simulator app sandboxes and bundles
- you manage many simulators and installed apps across ios, watchos, and tvos

## When to avoid
- you develop on linux or windows
- you need to test on physical devices
- you don't have Xcode installed, since it depends on Xcode command line tools
