Live interaction with your iOS Simulator — from your iPhone. No Xcode on your laptop. No remote desktop squinting. YOUR MAC STAYS HOME. YOU STAY MOBILE. A Mac Mini on your desk runs Xcode, your coding agent, and the simulator. In your bag: just your phone. Mata is the window between them — a live, resolution-matched stream of your iOS Simulator with full touch control. FULL INTERACTIVE CONTROL Tap, scroll, swipe, and pinch — everything maps 1:1 to the simulator. You're not watching a recording. You're in it. SIMULATOR SHORTCUTS WITHOUT XCODE Trigger Face ID, simulate locations, rotate the device, send memory warnings, and test push notifications — all from the control panel. No Xcode menus required. SWITCH BETWEEN SIMULATORS Running iPhone and iPad builds on the same Mac? Switch between them instantly from your phone. Compare layouts across device sizes without walking back to your desk. QUALITY YOU CONTROL Adjust capture scale, frame rate, and bandwidth to match your network. Crisp over Wi-Fi, smooth over cellular. WORKS WITH YOUR CODING AGENT Pair Mata with Moshi or any terminal app. Your agent builds and runs on the Mac — you see the result live on your phone. Spot what's broken, tell your agent what to fix. Ship faster without ever opening Xcode on a second machine. REQUIREMENTS - A Mac running the Mata host app with an active iOS Simulator - iPhone on the same network (or reachable remotely) Privacy Policy: https://getmata.app/privacy Terms of Service: https://getmata.app/terms

PromoKit helps app developers organize App Store offer-code campaigns without spreadsheet busywork. Import offer-code CSVs from App Store Connect, group codes by app and product, and share the next available code when a reviewer, tester, creator, or customer needs one. PromoKit can send code text through the iOS share sheet, copy a code, or create a branded QR share card that opens the redeem flow. Keep campaign history tidy as codes move. Mark codes as shared, record recipient names, set expiry dates, separate expired offers, and export CSVs with usage state preserved. Your code lists stay under your control. PromoKit stores campaign state in iCloud Documents when available, with a local Application Support fallback, and does not include advertising, third-party analytics, or tracking SDKs. Features: - Import App Store Connect offer-code CSVs - Organize multiple apps, products, and offers - Share, copy, or QR-share the next available code - Track recipients, shared dates, and remaining inventory - Mark codes used individually or in bulk - Set offer expiry dates and group expired offers - Export CSVs with sharing history preserved - Use light, dark, or system appearance
