SimFinger is a macOS utility that overlays a realistic iPhone or iPad frame around the iOS Simulator and shows a touch indicator nub that follows the cursor for screencasts. It is an Objective-C app built for Xcode's iOS Simulator, last updated for iOS 8.1 in 2014.
Use cases
- record iPhone app demo screencasts with a device frame
- show touch indicators in iOS simulator recordings
- make app promo videos from the iOS simulator
- overlay iPhone 6 or iPad frames on simulator captures
- demonstrate iOS apps with realistic fake home screen apps
When to choose
- you need to screencast an iOS app on the simulator with a device frame and touch visualization
- you are working with older Xcode/iOS 8.1 simulator setups
When to avoid
- you use modern Xcode or recent iOS simulators, as the tool targets iOS 8.1 and Xcode 6.1
- you need maintained software or a clear license
- you record on real devices rather than the simulator
