SimCam lets you test camera features without a physical device - stream from your Mac's built-in or external camera, inject an image, or generate a QR code. Includes a CLI letting agents control the camera on iOS simulator.

Hey Product Hunters! 👋

I'm Krzysztof, creator of SimCam at Software Mansion – and I'm super excited to finally share this with you! 🚀

I built SimCam to solve a common frustration: the iOS simulator simply doesn't support camera testing.

🎥 With SimCam you can:

Use your Mac's camera as the "iPhone camera" in your apps running on Simulator
Inject any image or video as a camera feed
Generate QR codes and inject them into the stream
Control the front and back cameras independently
Control iOS simulator camera source programmatically via CLI or let AI agent use it to build and test camera scenarios in your app
All that works without adding any dependencies or you changing anything in your app

With SimCam you no longer need to test your apps on device only to verify camera enabled features!

It’s available as a one-time purchase with a lifetime license. Give it a try at simcam.swmansion.com.

I'd love to hear what you think – any feedback is super welcome! 🙌

This is a tool I would've paid for months ago. Camera flows in the simulator have always been the most painful part of iOS dev for me, building Sorti as a solo iOS dev, every camera test meant grabbing my phone. Did this come from your own pain or did you spot a gap?
