OpenSim is a free, open-source macOS menu bar utility that gives iOS developers quick access to their apps' folders inside the iOS Simulator, serving as an open-source alternative to SimPholders. Written in Swift, it discovers simulators and their installed apps (via xcrun) and lets you open app bundles, documents, and sandboxes directly in Finder.
Use cases
- access ios simulator app folders quickly on my mac
- find my app's sandbox and documents directory in the ios simulator
- open-source simpholders alternative
- browse apps installed on the ios simulator from a menu bar app
- locate core data or files written by my app in the simulator
- open simulator app bundle in finder without digging through Library/Developer
When to choose
- You develop iOS apps on macOS and frequently need to inspect simulator app sandboxes, bundles, or documents
- You want a free, open-source replacement for the paid SimPholders utility
- You prefer a lightweight menu bar tool installable via Homebrew Cask
When to avoid
- You need to uninstall simulator apps or reset simulator data, which is not yet implemented
- You need command-line or scriptable simulator management (use xcrun simctl instead)
- You work with Android emulators rather than the iOS Simulator
