sim-use is a cross-platform Swift CLI that gives AI agents the ability to observe and act on iOS Simulator and Android emulator/device screens. It converts the accessibility tree into a token-efficient text outline and lets agents tap elements by alias, ID, or label without coordinates.
Use cases
- let an AI agent verify UI changes it made in an iOS simulator
- automate tapping through Android emulator screens with an LLM loop
- dump a compact accessibility outline of a mobile app screen for an LLM
- script mobile UI flows using element labels instead of coordinates
- close the observe-act-verify loop in agentic mobile development
- drive iOS Simulator and Android devices from a single CLI
When to choose
- you want AI agents to interact with and verify mobile app UIs on iOS Simulator or Android emulators
- you need a token-efficient screen representation for LLM reasoning instead of screenshots
- you want coordinate-free UI automation driven by accessibility data
When to avoid
- you need to automate desktop or web browsers rather than mobile simulators and devices
- you require pixel-level visual testing or screenshot-based verification
- you need a GUI-based record-and-playback mobile testing tool
