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
