What is Sqim?
Sqim is a lightweight iOS app that lets you preview and interact with your iOS Swift builds on-the-go from high-fidelity cloud simulators. It closes the iOS development feedback loop by allowing developers to see changes instantly on their iPhone without needing to build and install projects blindly through Xcode.
Key features include securely authenticating and pushing builds using sqim-cli on your Mac, working with any remote control agent like Codex or Claude for on-the-go coding, and pushing iOS builds directly to your phone from any network without requiring Tailscale or VPN. Developers can also share their iOS projects and let friends stream the app from their own high-fidelity cloud simulators.
Sqim is designed for iOS developers working with Swift who want to preview their builds remotely, AI coding agents like Codex and Claude users who need mobile feedback loops, and teams who want to share and stream iOS apps for collaboration. It works on any network, making it ideal for developers who code while traveling or away from their desk.
